Our guide today, Henoch a relative of Yared, took us to some of the 11 churches in Lalibela.
The entrances to the churches were small, creating some interesting congestion as shoes needed to be removed before entering. A person was hired to watch shoes and while you were inside. You can imagine the number of shoes at each entrance given the number of pilgrims!

This rather startling symbol is of course quite old and can be seen is several ancient structures.
That evening we had injera with Yared and his family.
