A church on the mountain


Here, high on a mountain, on a peninsula in Lake Tana, accessible by boat is a church, the center of life here, and important to the people. Beautiful paintings adorn the walls within the church, and each painting tells stories of the history of the church. Among the pictures, you will see the shepherd who goes out to find the one sheep that was lost, as well as other stories of great importance to the memories of these people. In another small building not far below is a museum which contains many things which have been of importance to the history of the people.
