LALIBELA ["Lalibela" - meaning, literally, "the bees recognize his sovereignty"]: Towering edifices, the Lalibela churches were not built at all in the conventional sense. Instead they were hewn directly out of the solid red volcanic rock on which they stand. Close examination is required before the full extent of this achievement can be appreciated: some of the churches lie almost completely concealed within deep trenches, while others hide in the open mouths of quarried caves. Connecting them all is a complicated network of tunnels and narrow passageways with offset crypts, grottos and galleries - a cool, lichen-enshrouded, subterranean world, shaded and damp, silent but for the faint echoes of distant footfalls as priests and deacons go about their timeless business.
