Peter may have built his church upon a rock, but the ruling king in 12th century Ethiopia decided to build his churches into the rocks themselves. During his reign 900 years ago, King Lalibela commissioned the building of a set of churches to form a 'New Jerusalem.'

The Coptic Christians are complete opposite of our Nigerian Christians. They are after seclusion & worship of one true God, not materialism, pastoprenuers & worship of gods of men. 21 Likes 3 Shares
