Navigating Lalibela market on Easter Saturday

The last day before the Easter celebrations in Lalibela marks the end of what has been weeks of fasting and intense praying. It's the busiest day of the year for farmers as they sell their stock and the markets are relentless. It is only hours before most of the animals will be killed and the celebrations will begin.
