Adventure Pilgrimage: Ark of the Covenant

A few weeks ago I had the blessed opportunity to engage in an adventure pilgrimage to be at the location where the locals have a strong and long tradition that the Ark of the Covenant rests in a church in Axum, Ethiopia.

Adventure Travel: Ethiopia – Rock Hewn Churches
A few weeks ago I travelled to Ethiopia, Africa. These are some photos of the amazing rock-hewn churches in Lalibela, built during the fourth Century. These churches are considered one of the seven wonders of the world. They were chiseled down from bare rock, including the interior, which is a fully functional church. They are used even to this day.
