DescriptionDetail - Bet Abba Libanos, Lalibela, Ethiopia (3337017822).jpg
Detail of 13th century rock-hewn church in Lalibela, Ethiopia.
In his Bradt Guide Ethiopia (November 2005, 4th Ed.), Phillip Briggs writes:
"According to the legends, Bet Abba Libanos was built overnight by Lalibela's wife Meskel Kebre, assisted by a group of angels."
"The church has been built around [sic] a cave in a vertical face, and although the roof is still connected to the original rock, the sides and back are separated from the rock by narrow tunnels."
"The pink-tinged façade, which once again shows strong Axumite influences in its arched and cruciform windows, lies under an overhang in a way that is reminiscent of some churches in Tigrai."
