Christians going to the Naktala cave church

Reference : ET1301-HM001907

Christians in white go to the Naktala (or Naacateleb) troglodyte church in the mountains. 11 Monolithic Rupestrian churches are carved in the rock in Lalibela city, Ethiopia. As the tradition goes, King Gebra Maskal Lalibela gave the order to built them in the beginning of XIIIth century, in order to give Ethiopian Orthodox Christians their own Jerusalem in Ethiopia. Islam expanding, pilgrimages were harder to carry out. The place's topography is a symbolic representation of Holy Land, hence its name of "Back Jerusalem"
