About this listen
When Lalibela, Priest King of Ethiopia, is murdered at the hands of his jealous step-brother and step-sister, and buried in the cleft of a rock face, he has a vision of the Archangel Michael, who instructs him how to build ten churches. Lalibela must rise from the dead in order to fulfill his mission of building the ten rock-hewn churches.
Written in a haunting trochaic rhythm, after the rhythm of Finland’s, "The Kalevala", Poe’s "The Raven", and "Song of Hiawatha" by Longfellow.
Lalibela, Priest King of Ethiopia is a spiritual biography of death and resurrection, mirroring the life of Christ. It was inspired by legends of the 13th century historical figure, Lalibela.
