After a nice climb up a rock, the church of Debre Tsion is located right at the edge of the cliff, with some marvellous frescoes inside the extensive church.
The frescoes were beautiful, quite worn, but still very decorative. Furthermore, their soft reddish tone was very pleasant to the eye. We spent some time following the scenes on the walls of this large church. The church dates from the 13th century, was founded by Abuna Abraham. The large church is actually the second one he constructed on this spot; a much smaller and less impressive one can be seen elsewhere on top of the hill. A passage inside the rock leads to a prayer room with religious figures carved out in the wall, but no frescoes. When we finally descended, the crowd who had been faithfully waiting for us followed us again all the way back to the village below the mountain.
