description The tombs of two kings of the Zagwe dynasty, Yemrehanna Krestos and Lālibalā, are said to be located in churches that they founded. However this information does not figure in the first texts written about these Ethiopian saint-kings. The chronology of these texts and their production are presented; and the eras identified when new symbols emerged for authenticating the sepultures of saint-kings or modifying the perception of them.

The tombs of these two kings have become places where pilgrims request these saints to intercede on their behalf.
