Not only do they perform services in their churches, the priests of Lalibela are also host to any visitor to their church.
They can be bad-tempered, impatient, they can have a bad day, they can be elusive, but also friendly, quiet, religious and well-disposed towards the curious visitor. Sometimes, they give a strong feeling that they are only interested in earning some tip, especially in outlying churches around Lalibela. Other times, they genuinely take their time to show their church, pointing out decorations, telling stories, and showing off finely carved crosses and centuries old goat skin books. Sometimes a church has beehives, and in one case priests gave us a lot of fresh, delicious honey to take away.
