Christmas

We’ve just been to Lalibela for Ethiopian Christmas around 7th of January, and we took this opportunity to catch some of the magic moments with the lens of our photo cameras. These pictures also show that the Ethiopians do really have beautiful faces. If you don’t agree, check these photos all taken on the Christmas day in the labyrinth of the ancient churches hewn out of the bedrock in the 12th century.

After several months of occupation the holy town of Lalibela has been freed from the occupation by the Tigrayan soldiers. The Ethiopian Christmas called "Genna", since centuries celebrated most importantly and in a particular way in Lalibela, represented the best occasion for us to return there. While before the pandemic and civil war we used to travel there with clients almost every week, it's too long time we've not been in Lalibela and this visit was long overdue.
