Richly decorated, Abreha and Atsbeha church in the Tigray region is considered to be one of its finest rock-hewn churches in this part of Ethiopia.
Mass had just finished, and men wrapped in white cloth were sitting on the stairs hewn out in rock in the early morning sun. Their contours were defined by a fine line of sun around their robes, their soft chatter seemed entirely natural to the background of the fantastic views and the feel of holiness of the place. After soaking in the atmosphere for a while, we went up the stairs to the semi-monolithic church. Abreha wa Atsbeha juts out of a face of rock, and unlike the Lalibela churches, can be seen completely free of scaffolding. While the outside is interesting enough, it is most famous for its murals.
