Lalibela - Northwestern Cluster of Churches (Part 2)

April 19 - This shows the entrance to Bet Danaghel. 

Some of the drums used during Liturgies. 

Our guide showing us some of the original paintings in Bet Danaghel, now behind glass for protection. 





The passageway between Bet Danaghel and Bet Mikael with monk's cells carved into the stone wall. 

Inside Bet Golgotha are monolithic stone carvings of the 12 Apostles. 

Because today starts the Fasika (Easter) Celebration, there were many Ethiopians in the churches. 

The icon painting of St. Mikael in the church bearing his name. 

The exit passage out of the northwestern cluster of churches.
