Ethiopia’s Chapel in the Sky


If churches were assessed by their risk factor, Abuna Yemata Guh would be our new Sistine Chapel. Perched 650 feet above a steep cliff in Northern Ethiopia, visitors face a 45-minute climb up the cliff’s vertical face in order to access the precariously positioned church.

    In us .not outside of us .
    WE ARE GOD .

  4. may all of ethiopia be blessed with plentiful rain, seed, natural fertilizers, miraculous harvestand the birth of healthy animals. — as soon as the water is given to you by the Almighty. Our prayers of healing to all and the children unaffected by these difficult moments. All the blessings , our prayers from Ysrael, Spain, USA and the world that will be more enouraged to send you more money.

  5. I would like to make such a climb and see the inside for myself. It really is those last 7-10 feet to the entrance that are the most stressing. Nothing on the wall to hold onto or grab if your foot slips.

  6. Se decía que los dioses griegos,banqueteaban con sus símil Etíopes.esto es demostración cristiana de su poder.igual los dioses existen en nuestras mentes .gracias por la demostración de Fe.
