Exploring the Sacred Beauty of a Rock-Carved Orthodox Church in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 We take off our shoes and enter a magnificent Orthodox church carved entirely from a single piece of rock. Our Lalibela guide Abi teaches us about the respectful traditions, including kissing the pillars upon entry, and explains the architectural details like the massive hand-carved pillars, high ceilings, and the significance of the prayer areas oriented toward the east. We're amazed by the peaceful atmosphere, intricate craftsmanship, and the spiritual beauty of this incredible Ethiopian landmark. ❤️🇪🇹 #ethiopia #lalibela
