We drive approximately 47 km to Wukro Chirkos, an ancient Orthodox Tewahedo monolithic church in northern Ethiopia, known for its cruciform layout and historical significance since the 19th century. Next, we visit the impressive Abreha and Atsebha Church, located 15 km west of Wukro, carved into red rock and famed for its murals and treasures, including a prayer cross believed to belong to Ethiopia’s first bishop, Frumentius.
