Both location and frescoes make Abuna Yemata Guh an outstanding church in the Gheralta region - reaching it is part of the appeal.
Perhaps most strikingly are the cupolas. One depicts nine of the apostles, the other the Nine Saints who came from Syria, established themselves in Axum after which they spread in the region to build or carve out churches. Abuna Yemata was one of the Nine Priests, and by choosing this location in the 15th century, he made sure his church would remain out of reach of the enemies of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Although I would have loved to stay inside until the sun would go down, to soak up the atmosphere, look meticulously at all amazingly fresh paintings, this was not possible, and we had to leave perhaps the most beautiful church of the country. When we stepped outside and sat in the entrance, we again realized the unique location of this church: just a metre away was the abyss of perhaps 200 metres straight down, and a spectacular view of the countryside at our feet.
