  • This is the small chapel adjacent to the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. It is said to house the Ark of the Covenant and therefore The Ten Commandments inside. Of course, only a ‘guardian’ is allowed access beyond the fencing immediately surrounding the chapel. I, as a foreigner was only allowed to get as close as this photograph indicates. That was plenty close for me as it allowed me to shoot not only the chapel, but the revelers in front of it all bathed in beautiful golden hour light. Besides, who wants to risk getting their face melted off like a Nazi in Raiders of the lost Ark? The Legend is that Menelik, the son of King Solomon and a beautiful African Queen from Axum named Makeda (Queen of Sheba), brought it back to his homeland of Abyssinia (Ethiopia).
