In the North of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, one finds a church that was built in 434 AD. This church was the first of about 120 other churches built in the Tigray region. Its curved entirely from a rock and not a single stone block was used. The church is the hiding place of the Ark of the Covenant which is known to be sacred.
Whatever is in the Ark is only known to the priests and no one even the president knows or has the authority to check. Hence the big question is, what is in this preserved Ark? We find out from the keepers of the Ark.

Their community is just like Jesus's community used to be with his disciples/followers. Made me feel all warm in my heart just by watching this video. God bless them all! Shame such community cannot be seen anywhere else....I lived in many different countries, haven't seen anything like this. And the priest keeps repeating: "we love each other", just like Jesus said: "will recognise you're my disciples when have love for each other!" So powerful and simple...

Ethiopia, the only country in Africa that was never conquered and colonized. Coincidence?

Went to that church last February. Stunningly beautiful, & Ethiopian people very friendly, without bring servile: a legacy of their long struggle to maintain identity & freedom. Will definitely go there again, God willing. Tradition isn't a chain, it's an anchor, & without it we're lost.
