Bet Golgotha & Debre Sina Churches | |
Bet Golgotha and Debre Sina are the most interesting Churches in the hole group in Lalibela! Except of the carefully excavated interior, they have many engraved details like the four Saints in Bet Golgotha and some other figures from the Bible in the Trinity Chapel ! | |
The carefully engraved columns in Debre Sina church and other details in this group, make us believe that these three Chapels played an important role during the time of King Lalibela ! | |
The four engraved figures (Saints) in Bet Golgotha, have a similarity to Bishops in medieval Europe ! | |
Another engraved figure, probably a Saint in Bet Golgotha. | |
