It is said that when a group of bees flew around his coyote in the twelfth century when the seventh generation of Ethiopia's Lalibela (1176-1207 and then 1181-1221) was born.
When Lalibela's mother spotted that symbol of his son's future royal power, he named him Lalibela, which means "bee proclaimed royal power."
The beloved brother Habib made a bad heart wanting to poison him, and Lalibela, who was poisoned, slept for three days and slept in a dream where God directed him to Jerusalem for pilgrimage and was orated: "Made in Ethiopia A new city of Jerusalem and called for a church built of a single rock. "
As a result, Lalibela used 5,000 artisans in a rocky plateau 2600 meters above sea level in northern Ethiopia, according to an oracle. It took 30 years to hew 11 rock churches, which people referred to as Lalibela here.
Since then, Lalibela has become a Ethiopian holy land. So far, every year on January 7 Ethiopia Christmas, believers will gather here.
