Talk:Churches in Ethiopia

Should this be a part of Historical Travel or Religion and Spirituality? Painted Monasteries, which seems to be the most analogous article, breadcrumbs from Religion and Spirituality. Gizza ^(roam) 06:39, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Possible suggestion

• 1 Addis Ababa — The capital city's churches include the important Holy Trinity Cathedral (burial place of dignitaries from Emperor Haile Selassie to Sylvia Pankhurst), the octagonal St George's Cathedral, and the large Medhane Alem cathedral in the Bole suburb.
• 2 Adwa and nearby Yeha — Adwa and Yeha have several churches, and Yeha also has the Great Temple, a pre-Christian and pre-Aksumite temple dating back at least 2500 years.
• 3 Axum — Formerly the capital of the Axumite Kingdom (1st-10th century AD), and now home to the Church of Our Lady Mary in Zion (Tsion Maryam) complex, which is believed by Ethiopian Christians to house the original Ark of the Covenant.
• 4 Bahir Dar — Kidus Giorgis church is in town, but the bigger attraction is the churches and monasteries, some of the world's oldest, on islands in Lake Tana, to which there are boat tours.
• 5 Gondar — Home to rulers from the 12th-20th centuries, also hosts the fortress-like Debre Birhan Selassie Church and its richly frescoed interior, and King Fasilides Bath, where Timkat (Epiphany) is celebrated.
• 6 Hawzien &mdaah; A base for exploring some of the over 100 rock-hewn churches in the area, including mountain-top churches and monasteries.
• 7 Lalibela — Has a complex of remarkable rock-cut churches that were built in the 13th-14th centuries, and among the most enduring symbols of Christianity in Africa.

Matroc, I have added this to the main article now. Not sure why this was not done initially. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 02:08, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

SelfieCity - Just thought it might be useful -- also I made a relatedsite to here from the Ethiopia article. I went through Ethiopia and its regions and added coordinates for a lot of markers, corrected some mapframe stuff since I believe that set of articles is relevant to this article. I think that Ethiopia needs to be built up some more. I grabbed all the markers from Ethiopia and its Regions, sorted them and put them on the talk page with a mapframe etc. This index of sorts hopefully can identify and assist in the further development of that section of WV - Cheers! -- Matroc (talk) 05:28, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, was I mistaken by copying this to the Churches of Ethiopia article? --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 13:40, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Not mistaken at all - it belongs there -- Matroc (talk) 01:42, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
