http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com If you've ever seen one picture of a church in Ethiopia without knowing what or where it was, it was probably Bet Giyorgis (St. George) Church. The huge cruciform shape is unmistakable. We visit twice: Saturday to explore, and Sunday - St. George's Feast Day with Mass. The entire perimeter was filled with devotees dressed in white, singing and chanting. An uplifting, religious experience and we weren't done. There were still more churches to see in Lalibela...
