Hidden in a cave, Yemrehanna Kristos church holds more secrets than you would think at first glance.
Inside, probably one of the most striking features is the wooden ceiling with etched decorations. Inevitably, the priest proudly showed us the cross of the church. Our guide tried to convince us that the church, and especially the curative subterranean water, had such strong healing powers, that people in the surrouding area stopped going to a doctor, but instead relied on the church. Behind the church you can find a tent-like construction which is supposed to be the tomb of Yemrehanna Kristos. The real surprise of the complex is the bones of more than 10,000 people lying in the back of the cavern. They are the remains of Christian pilgrims from Syria, Jerusalem and other far-away areas who came all the way to die at this sanctity. We left Yemrehanna Kristos impressed by its beauty and peacefulness. The handicapped people, still begging for support, were not a strong proof of the healing powers we had heard so much about.
