While in Ethiopia we saw some really cool churches. This one was built under an overhang. It is an example of Ethiopian Cave Churches. The exterior block wall in the first picture was added in the past few years for security purposes. Behind the wall is this beautiful olive wood and marble church which floats on top of the marshy ground. The rock details in the windows are wonderfully intricate and each one is different. Behind the church are the bones of countless pilgrims who came to die in the dark recesses of the cave.
