Abuna Yemata Guh Church is located at the height of 2580m above the sea level in Hawzen Woreda, Tigray Region of Ethiopia 🇪🇹. It is one of 35 churches built on a high ground in Ethiopia.
It was built in 5th Century AD, which is just a century after Ethiopia adopted Christianity. Ethiopia is one of the world's OLDEST Christian nations, as the Kingdom of Aksum independently adopted the religion in 325 AD - which was just 13 years after Constantine became the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity.
The dry weather and lack of moisture has preserved the church's original paintings very well.
