 "A large number of people came on foot; next there is a guest who is coming by transport" - Lalibela City Administration

The birthday of Jesus Christ is celebrated especially in Lalila Church.

Although it has been more than a year and months since the Amhara region, where the wonderful Lalibela Church is located, was a shooting zone between Fano militants and the government security forces, it was felt that the people of the church were not restricted from traveling to celebrate the festival there.

Since the people of the region have been in a war zone for more than a year, they are facing death, physical injuries and destruction of property in addition to finding it difficult to move from place to place in peace.

Apart from this, Bugna District is a region where babies who are far from heaven are in the worst situation due to drought and lack of food.

However, it was said that the state of the region did not limit the Orthodox people in other areas, including the people of the region, to go to the place.

Tikvah Ethiopia, what is the atmosphere and preparation of the eve of the festival like? He submitted a request to Lalibela city administration.

What did the first deputy mayor of Lalibela city say?

"The city of Saint Lalibela is welcoming its guests by making adequate preparations to celebrate Christmas. Visitors are flocking to the city from different parts of the country.

A large number of people come on foot. Then there is a stranger arriving in a transport. Guests also arrived on Ethiopian Airlines flights from Addis Ababa, Bahir Dar, and Gondar.

The holy city of Lalibela was welcoming its guests, dressed in its splendor. "Young people have performed their tradition of welcoming guests by washing their feet," he said.

The region is known to be in a state of insecurity. In connection with this, Tikvah Ethiopia asked them what has been done regarding the security issue.

In his response, Ato Bhranu said, "Celebrating Christmas cannot be a threat to security."

“Christmas is a religious holiday. Christmas is a public holiday, Christmas is a religious holiday. It can't be a security problem yet. A person who wants to celebrate Christmas is only a prerequisite to prepare his mind and be there," he added.

When asked how many guests will be present, it is difficult to estimate now, but after the festival, Ato Bhradnu responded to Tikvah Ethiopia.

They sent a congratulatory message and said, "We have great respect for you who have honored our call and returned our city to its former glory."
