Probably the most perfect church of all churches in Lalibela, Bet Giyorgis is the only church that has been spared the scaffolding concealing other churches.
On the other side of the church, you can walk down to the entrance. First, you will see some holes in the rock, which according to legend are the prints of the hoof of St. George's horse, who apparently was so happy with the church that he rode his horse right into the entrance from above. In a small cave, you will see some skeletons, apparently of pilgrims who wished to stay near the beautiful church and be buried right there. Inside, the church appears straightforward, with some nicely carved out windows. There is a huge toolbox with an enormous screw closing it, and the usual old goatskin books and elaborate cross. The best view of the church can be had from the top, where the setting sun casts a warm light on this incredible construction. Fortunately, the church has a drainage system for water on the roof; hopefully, it will never be covered by the scaffolding effectively making having a look at the other churches impossible.
