Culture
Every church’s tabot carried through the streets, an all-night vigil, then a blessing with water at dawn. A guide to Ethiopia’s most spectacular festival and where to see it.
History
Eleven churches cut down into the living rock eight centuries ago, still used every day. How the site is laid out, how many days to give it, and how to see it with a priest rather than a crowd.
