Bet Uraiel's Hidden Depths

In the shadow of the sacred Bet Golgotha, Bet Uraiel stands as a lesser-known piece of Ethiopian history. Have you ever wondered about its significance?

Founded in 1998 and possibly originating from a storeroom, this church holds cultural value but sees few visitors. Its rough-hewn design reflects traditional Ethiopian rock-carved architecture, while its location near the symbolic Tomb of Adam adds to its spiritual allure.
