The Sacred Rock Churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia

"The natural and supernatural meet here in a place that is sacred for over 45 million Ethiopian Orthodox Christians worldwide. Lalibela’s 11 churches are a conduit between a world we can touch and mold, and one we can only feel. It’s been that way for almost a millennium and it shows no signs of letting up." - Natalie Stoclet
