Английская Википедия:Church of Abreha wa-Atsbeha
Материал из Онлайн справочника
The Church of Abreha wa-Atsbeha (sometimes spelt Abreha we Atsbeha) was built in East Tigray, around 15 km from Wukro, at some point in the tenth or eleventh century in honour of the brothers Abreha and Atsbeha.[1][2] Their bodies are claimed to be entombed in the church. At one time the church served as a monastery but now operates as a parish church.[2] Paul B. Henze visited the church in the 1970s where he was told the ceiling was blackened by soot due to Queen Gudit setting a fire in the building nine centuries earlier.[3]
