Jamal (Beauty), 17 Kamal (Perfection) 177 B.E. - Sunday, August 16, 2020 Our trip has been customized to meet our needs.We will not be having the down time listed in the beginning. https://www.safaribookings.com/day/t21782 We're arriving and immediately leaving by plane to our adventure to Lalibela which is home to the 12th-century hand carved rock churches of King Lalibela (1181 - 1221) whom the town is named after. We'll have lunch in our hotel, then visit the first group churches of Lalibela (UNESCO World Heritage Site) which are found northeast of a stream named ‘River Jordan’. In a 1970 report of the historic dwellings of Lalibela, Sandro Angelini evaluated the vernacular earthen architecture on the Lalibela World Heritage Site, including the characteristics of the traditional earth houses and analysis of their state of conservation. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g480193-d7619296-Reviews-Tomb_of_A...

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen." King James version of the Holy Bible: Mathew 6:9-13 To stand barefoot at the door of one of these stone churches and recite the Lord's Prayer is to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit echoing across the ages. "Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil." King James version of the Holy Bible: Luke 11:2-4 |
