Church of Saint George, Lalibela

The Church of St. George ((アムハラ語:Bete Giyorgis)) is one of eleven monolithic churches in Lalibela, a city in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Originally named Roha or Warwar, this historical and religious site is currently accepted in the modern name of Lalibela, after King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of Ethiopia, who is regarded as a saint-like figure by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
==History==
The Church was carved from a variation limestone called tufa, the sole building material used in the structure. It has been dated to the late 12th or early 13th century AD, and thought to be constructed under King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela, of the late Zagwe dynasty. It is among the best known and last built of the eleven churches in the Lalibela area, and has been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lalibela:The Eighth Wonder of the World )〕 Lalibela, King of Ethiopia, sought to recreate Jerusalem, and structured the churches' landscape and religious sites in such a way as to achieve such a feat. “The churches at Lalibela are clustered in two major groups, one representing the earthly Jerusalem, and the other representing the heavenly Jerusalem. Located directly between them is a trench representing the River Jordan”. The dimensions of the trench are 25 meters by 25 meters by 30 meters,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela )〕 and there is a small baptismal pool outside the church, which stands in an artificial trench.
According to Ethiopian cultural history, ''Bete Giyorgis'' was built after King Gebre Mesqel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty had a vision in which he was instructed to construct the church; Saint George〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The recording of Bet Giorgis )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ethiopia )〕 and God〔 have both been referred to as the one who gave him the instructions.
Lalibela is a pilgrimage site for members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; the church itself is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela )
