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.
As soon as we entered, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the paintings on the walls and the ceiling of this church. The church itself is quite big, which adds to the appreciation of its beauty: there is enough light to enjoy the elaborate paintings. These are of relatively recent origin, and depict the entire history of the Ethiopian church. Apart from these paintings, with so many details and so well done that it can keep you busy for quite some time, the church also houses a wooden box in which are apparently the mummified bodies of Abreha and Atsbeha, whose mother was from this very region.
