Not only do they perform services in their churches, the priests of Lalibela are also host to any visitor to their church.
The marvellous churches of Lalibela and surrounds are a wonder in themselves, spectacular and truly amazing. Every church has its own priest, and these are not only the ones taking care of the services in the church, but also have a role as a kind of museum keepers to visitors. They are invariably dressed in white, with a white cloth wrapped around their head, they are the guards of the treasures of their church, and above all, they are human.
