Christliches Lalibela

Lalibela - The town of 20,000 souls in the central north of the country, far from major roads, is world-famous for its churches carved out of the rock in the 12th and 13th centuries. To this day, these rock-hewn churches are among the most important shrines of the Ethiopian Church. The last third of the film shows excerpts from an authentic prayer ceremony, impressive scenes, as if from the past.

The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela (Ethiopia's top attraction definitely did not disappoint!) ✝ ????????

Lalibela is one of those places that you simply cannot believe humans constructed. From the Pyramids of Giza to the Burj Khalifa, the engineering feats of humans can be simply jaw-dropping. The rock-hewn churches of Lalibela did not disappoint in this regard; carved straight out of the rock almost a millennia ago, these historic places of worship are still actively used today by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. The site is captivating and awe-inspiring, as you witness a sea of ivory-white robes saunter from church to church, burning incense and chanting passages of the Bible aloud. Lalibela is one of the world's finest holy cities not only for its beauty, but also its authenticity; as an active place of worship, there is no tourist vibe here. You simply join the devout in their daily lives and bear witness to one of planet Earth's most fascinating spectacles.

Journey Through Ethiopia - Africa Travel Documentary

Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most beautiful and fascinating countries, and a surprising travel destination. From spectacular mountain landscapes and national parks to vast lakes and mysterious deserts. From incredible wildlife to intriguing historic landmarks. From vibrant, fast growing cities to small villages and tribal regions, steeped in culture and traditions.

In this documentary style video, I will show you 10 beautiful places I visited, on a one-month journey through Ethiopia in 2019. I remember the smiles and welcoming attitude of the people, the incredible food, remarkable monuments, the stunning natural and urban landscapes. In all fairness, this was one of my best travels yet.

Sadly, however, at the time of editing this video, Ethiopia is in political and military conflict with the Northern Tigray region, which is causing great suffering to ordinary civilians. Like most people, I hope the relevant authorities can come to an agreement soon, and start rebuilding this beautiful land.

As a result of the conflict, some of the places in this video are currently inaccessible due to high security concerns. Always follow travel advice and consult local guides, to avoid putting yourself and others at risk.

Here’s a brief overview of the content in this video:

We start this journey in the small city of Lalibela, a deeply spiritual town popular with Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. The awe-inspiring monolithic churches are the highlight here, but meeting the many pilgrims is equally, if not more, rewarding. After Lalibela, we venture to the mysterious Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most inhospitable places on Earth. It’s a bizarre desert landscape, with salt lakes, volcanoes, sulfur springs, and acidic pools. It feels like true adventure travel, but can only be done with experienced tour companies and guides.

The rock-hewn churches of the Tigray region are something unique, and Abuna Yemata Guh may be the most special of them all. This place of worship can only be reached on a steep and sometimes terrifying hike, but rewards travelers with incredible views, and a serene and peaceful atmosphere. The site is managed by several clergymen and priests.

The spectacular Simien mountains offer some of Africa’s best chances for hikes and longer treks, and are also home to the gelada baboons, nicknamed as ‘bleeding heart monkeys’. They live in troops and can live high in the mountains.

After spending some time in the nature, we continue our journey in Gondar, a friendly city with stunning historic monuments. Perhaps even more impressive is Aksum, with some of Ethiopia’s most iconic historic and religious sites, such as the towering obelisks (or stelea), and the Church of Saint Mary of Zion (which, according to legend, is the hiding place of the Ark of the Covenant, in a small chapel).

Addis Ababa is often overlooked by travelers, who rush themselves to the North and South of the country. But the vibrant capital city is an interesting place to spend a couple of days, and serves as a good introduction to Ethiopian culture and food. There are some great areas to be visited, including the famous Mercato, the largest market in Africa.

After Addis, we travel to the South of Ethiopia, which feels very different in many ways. The first stop here is Arba Minch, known for its wonderful Nechisar national park. Here, you can take boat trips on one of Ethiopia’s largest lakes, and spot crocodiles, pelicans, hippos, baboons and other wildlife. The Dorze village is not far from here, and offers a peak into traditional village life. Its friendly inhabitants have created a sustainable form of tourism, and visitors can witness (and take part in) the local economy at work, with cotton weaving, pottery, coffee ceremonies, bread production, and much more.

We finish this journey in the Omo Valley, which is home to many different ethnicities and tribes. It’s important to travel with local guides here, as these destinations often risk turning into so called ‘human safaris’. While tourism can have a positive effect on people’s lives, it’s crucial that it happens in a respectful and meaningful way.

Ethiopia | Rock-Hewn churches of Lalibela | የቅዱስ ላሊበላ ታሪክ | አስታራቂው አፍሮ አይገባ

According to an Ethiopian saying: If you do not wish to see Lalibela, you are like someone who has no desire to see the face of Christ.

Lalibela is home to some of the finest UNESCO rock-hewn churches in the world.
In true Ethiopian form, these churches sit alongside a unique, ancient, fascinating and untainted culture.

With some incredibly elevated views, this is a living breathing African town that leaves you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time.

The 11 churches at Lalibela, Ethiopia, are regarded as one of the wonders of the world, excavated from solid rock with an immense underground maze of tunnels and passages. There are two main groups of churches, with another church dedicated to Saint George a short distance away.
Ethiopian tradition connects the churches with the most famous King Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty, and the town, formerly known as Roha, has come to be known by that king's name. The Life of Lalibela describes how King Lalibela (who ruled from the late 12th to the early 13th centuries) was carried away to the heavenly Jerusalem. There he was instructed to build the churches. Angels worked beside his men as they cut each one from the rock, and then kept working through the night. However, the style in which the churches were made is remarkably similar to the surviving architecture of ancient Aksum.

After the death of Lalibela his tomb and the city itself began to draw thousands of pilgrims. Although his Dynasty was overthrown, Lalibela is still revered as a saint. The churches are seen as a New Jerusalem, with a river named Jordan and sites corresponding to the holy places of the great city.

The best time of year to visit Lalibela, infact to visit Ethiopia as a whole, is during the dry season of October to March.
Within those months, its highly recommended visiting Lalibela at the weekend.

On Saturday, there’s a great local market to experience here and Sunday is the time to visit the rock-hewn churches, when white-robbed locals descend in their hundreds for a dawn mass service that puts a whole new level of
understanding onto the otherwise usually empty stone church structures.

To see the churches really packed, you need to visit during Ethiopian Christmas, which takes place in this country in January.

This is when thousands of pilgrims flock to Lalibela for the major religious ceremony of the year and while prices rocket at this time and the town is packed, it’s a spectacle worth the crowds.

From Lalibela to Addis Ababa (Biete Giyorgis & my introduction to Ethiopia's bustling capital) ????????

I spent my final morning in the historic city of Lalibela visiting the stunning Biete Giyorgis (Church of St. George), before heading to the airport to catch a mid-day flight to Addis Ababa, the bustling capital of Ethiopia.

My first day in Addis Ababa was productive, albeit brief, as I checked into my hotel in the late afternoon, then proceeded by foot to the Edna Mall area, where I visited the city's stunning Biete Medhane Alem Cathedral - the second largest Christian church on the African continent. I enjoyed being back in civilization and enjoying all the creature comforts that big city life has to offer, recuperating after my relatively arduous travels through the country's north.

Visiting churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia- Day 2

To visit the churches in Lalibela which is a city in the northern part of Ethiopia you need to buy a ticket, the ticket is US$50 and it’s good for two days. You have an option to go through these churches on your own or hire a guide which I highly recommend because the entrance to some of these churches are hidden and is not easy to find them on your own so if you really want to take it advantage and see everything you have to hire a guide.

Lalibela: Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit

Lalibela zu besuchen ist wie eine Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit. Seit dem 5.Jh. wurden hier beeindruckende Bauwerke aus Gewaltigen Felsen gemeißelt. Im gegensatz zu vielen Anderen Bauwerken der Vergangenheit weren hier immernoch Gottesdienste wie vor 1500 Jahren gefeiert.
