Lalibela (Amharic: ααα α) is a town in the Amhara Region
of Ethiopia. Located in the Lasta district and North Wollo Zone, it is a
tourist site for its famous rock-cut monolithic churches. The whole of
Lalibela is a large and important site for the antiquity, medieval, and
post-medieval civilization of Ethiopia.[1] To Christians, Lalibela is
one of Ethiopia's holiest cities, and a center of pilgrimage. Ethiopia
was one of the earliest nations to adopt Christianity in the first half
of the 4th century, and its historical roots date to the time of the
Apostles. The churches themselves date from the 7th to 13th centuries,
and are traditionally dated to the reign of the Zagwe (Agaw) king Gebre
