Ring of Fire – an Annular Solar Eclipse
Two special events this June in Lalibela: on Sunday 21st June, you can witness a rare celestial phenomena, when the sun is eclipsed by the moon. It will be an ‘annular’ eclipse so a ring of light or beads of light will become visible. While this event will begin in central Africa, and carry on to the middle east, experts believe Lalibela maybe one of the best places to observe this.
Icons & Tabots paraded under brocaded umbrellas
A few days before the eclipse, on Friday 19th June, you can celebrate the second biggest Saint’s Day in this Holy City: Senay Mikael (The June St Michael’s Day) which is the annual saints day for Bete Mikael. It is also the anniversary of the death of the Saint King Lalibela who died on 19th June in 1221 ( 799 years ago) who is buried in the church behind Beta Mikael – known as Golgotta.
