This is a living testimony of the second oldest (the first being Armenia) Christian nation on the planet; and thanks for posting them. Some in the west, especially so-called evangelicals, are scrambling to evangelize the evangelized and they need to re-think their invasion.

Thanks.

You are among vistors who are making contributions in inciting not only people outside of Ethiopia but also Ethiopians to visit these monolithic and hypogeous churches which were built at about the eleventh century and unless a development in archtectural designs,the churches in Lalibela are typically immitated to that of Bilbala giorgis & Kirkos,which were built at about the sixth century and yimirha Gebriel which was built by Saint yimirhenekiristos, the cousin of Saint Lalibela.
Again, it is great thing to post this pictures so that people could be familiar with Lalibela and make plans to visit.
Great appreciation from Eyasu----USA.

I would like to tour the churches for a few days in December. Do you recommend a travel guide or tour company? Do you have an advice?
