Hidden in a cave, Yemrehanna Kristos church holds more secrets than you would think at first glance.
Once inside, it was directly clear to us that this was a unique church in the Lalibela area. Instead of a rock-hewn church, we saw a freestanding church under the natural roof of the cavern. It is actually a church constructed of layers of wood and white-faced granite, with large windows carved in cross-shape. According to legend, the church was constructed by Yemrehanna Kristos, a predecessor of King Lalibela in the late 11th century. Another legend wants us to believe that the wood of the church was imported from Egypt, while the granite blocks were taken from Jerusalem. Moreover, under the soil of the cavern there is thought to be a lake with curative powers.
