Not only do they perform services in their churches, the priests of Lalibela are also host to any visitor to their church.
Priests also hold the key to their church, and locating the priest is the primary concern before visiting any church outside Lalibela. Especially in Lalibela itself, priests are used to tourists taking pictures, and often carry sunglasses to protect their eyes from flashlight. What amazed me most, was that most churches have treasures of incredible beauty, like very old, beautifully decorated goat skin holy books, that just lie around their church, seemingly without protection. They leaf through the books, showing certain pages with obvious pride. It is difficult to imagine visiting the churches of Lalibela without priests: they are part and parcel of the historical churches.
