Rock-Hewn Churches of Tigray, Ethiopia [Amazing Places]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2014
- The ancient rock-hewn churches of Tigray were built between 4th and 15th century, there are more than 100 of them. They offer amazing atmospheric ambience and views over spectacular landscapes. In this video visit to 6 of the most appealing churches in Tigray - interesting either historically, architecturally or because they offer the most spectacular views over the surrounding landscapes. We hiked to 3 of the Gheralta cluster churches: Maryam and Daniel Korkor, Abuna Yemata Guh; visited Mikael Imba (Atsbi cluster), Medhane Alem Adi Kasho and Petros and Paulos (Teka Tesfai cluster), and Abreha We Atsbeha (Wukro cluster).

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Thank u Radit God blessed all of us
As an Ethiopian, I would say this is the best documentary I've seen about the rock churches in Tigray. There are so mary sacred places in Ethiopia, Blessed ❤
I think my Messiah for letting me live to see something I've never seen in my life and it's just beautiful thank you and I thank my Messiah for you-all shalom.
You say shalom, we say selam. We say "bet meqdes" for house of worship, you say "bet meqdash". We have the same roots.

There are angry black people in America that are now claiming they're the original people on the planet, and America is really the true old world, and that's where Egypt really was, and so on. They say they are the original people, and they predate Adam (I believe that part that they were created in the 6th day whereas Adam was created in the 8th day).
These people are cropping up everywhere now, claiming they're the first this, and the first that, and are the real Indian tribes and so on. Now they're saying America belongs to them, and they're claiming to be the first everything 😂 everyday it's a new thing they're claiming. They're very obnoxious

Thank you for sharing this great Ethiopian Orthodox Monastery. There are 1000s of great monasteries and churches the world needs to see and get blessing both in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Keep it up!
*Tigrai orthodox monastery 🟨🟥 Thank-you 👋🏽
My Ethiopia....so blessed
God bless Ethiopia, and preserve her soul! Stay alert.!So much character and beauty in that land.
I climbed to debredamo gedam when I was in middle school and the memory still longer in my head. I wish I had a chance to visit all the beautiful churches in Tigrai. Thanks for sharing!!
The closest I have been to the Tigrayans region of Ethiopia is Addis Ababa. But when I went to Addis this last time the flight outbound out of Addis to Jedda Airport, went over the Tigrayan region and then over Eritrea. Tigrayans region borders Eritrea. How do I know I was over the Toga region? Because almost all International flights have the tv that shows you where you are over on the world. I was able to look down , it wasn't very cloudy but I was impressed to see how many steep mountains there was ,for miles. It kind of look like the grand canyon. I was like wow this is Tigrayans region of both Ethiopia and Eritrea. I felt like wow one day I will go.
My country tigray i love you so much and i miss you ትግራይ ዓደይ መለይ
Watching this....I can almost believe Christ still resides in these places, that are still 'pure' with not much interference from the outside world. It seems to exude an unearthly ambiance.....breath-taking...
these remind me of tibetan cave temples! Absolutely amazing.!!!
The music along with the sight of this heavenly place of worship is breathtaking. I am in aw at the presence of the Most High 🙌🙏💖
Looks biblical....can feel this is a very spiritual place..... wonderful

Great respect to our ancestors for their amazing work. Thank you very much for your hard work. Your are helping the Tigray region tourism center.
😍👋😍😍❤️♥️👋🌹I love Tigrai I am from Tigrai 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏻
Oh Father of love, Father of light, You had us in mind, when You were creating such glories so we can stroll with You, sigh with deep satisfaction on seeing such great views with You, thank You heavenly Father for Your intense love for us, in the name of our Lord Jesus, we worship You, amen.
"It's because it was made by God's power that it's on a cliff instead of being on the ground". This is truly amazing, perched 650 feet above a steep cliff plus it's dating back to the 5th century. That is so breathtaking! "Mezmur" is the religious songs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I Believe, It's better to use the Instrumental classical's of Ethiopian orthodox mezmures with Kirar, Washint, Kebero and Mesenko as a sound truck.
If churches were assessed by their risk factor, Abuna Yemata Guh would be our new Sistine Chapel. Perched 650 feet above a steep cliff in Northern Ethiopia, visitors face a 45-minute climb up the cliff’s vertical face in order to access the precariously positioned church. Dating back to the 5th century, history has it that its founder Father Yemata built the chapel to be closer to heavenly spirits; however, others claim it was a strategic move to avoid his enemies.
Amazing Places on Our Planet well Done !!!
Thank you. Too beautiful for finding words, I have to search, to translate my feelings. In a way it is holy. So unearthly pure and yet, it is there. It really exists. Incredible.
Glad you liked the video :)
All the best!
You Know Ethiopia .........one of country of God and its people ....people of God and there is Ethiopia above 40times in side the Bible ......any ways thank you
it is. maybe you will find out why.
@@awokemsg9770 there is a reason for...
Two demonic entity from hell has destroyed these magnificent places and its inhabitants. Tigray is being destroyed, My heart is broken!
My grandfather was an Ethiopian Orthodox priest of many generations and he would always go to these churches all around Tigray and Eritrea
this is one of the very best documentaries i have ever seen, especially about these incredible rock churches in ethiopia!
what a miracle to see people there, climbing around like mountain goats and even being able to guide others to these sacred sites!
what i am not sure about yet, is the statement that these caves and chambers were made by christians only.
from my experience with many megalithic sites across the planet (and there are thousands!) it rather looks like they have been existing from even earlier times!
thank you @amazing places!
My God very very heart touching. ....extraordinary beauty. ...God's space. .... Ethiopia 's pride
i thank God for the things Ethiopia has , and that he is able to restore.the present and the future is what matters. Ethiopia has great potential , let's pray she keeps the human predators out, (and expels any who have weaselled their way in) .The phrase :God's country springs to mind !!.there is a lot of poverty and suffering, but also so much love and beauty.
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND AMAZING PEOPLES OF CHRIST. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS. THOSE VISITOR OF THE CHRIST IS SO BLESSED...AMEN

Mezmur are the religious songs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I Believe, It's will be better to use as a sound truck Instrumental classical's of Ethiopian orthodox mezmures with Kirar, Washint,Kebero and Mesenko.

Jess Holder Jess did you go ? Now it’s 12-2018

Ethiopia is authentic adventure, but do not skip Machu Picchu either :)

But womens not allowed to climb some rocky mountain churches, because back in days one queen of Ethiopia from Jewish heritage burned churchs killed alot Christians in tigray which is one of the resons to failed the great AXUM kingdom.
Thank you for sharing such an amazing experience. It is just breath taking. Wonders of the Lord.
God bless these beautiful places of worship :)
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this magnificent Church.
Hello Milosh, you keep surprizing us video by video. Thank you!!

Hi
Amazing scene - thanks for sharing
Wow ! Wow ! Wow !!! Thank you for sharing !!!
This is amazing I don't have words it's very nice!!
wonderfull really)))
thanks much for sharing,
was planing to visit Ethopia from longtime.
and all time discovering more beautiful sites there throw your vedios.
yes, Ethiopia is extraordinary destination, with so much to offer!
Good stuff, once again. It´s also cool to see how, without even exchanging words, it´s possible to supervise and help someone´s climbing. Always happy to watch your videos, keep em´ coming. ; )
Yes, that climbing was quite an experience, but relatively easy with the locals help :)
The best video on these monuments in TH-cam so far! Great work, and a good eye. These places are not just churches. They are also monasteries. They are built in difficult to reach places. The whole point was to get away from it all. No need to puzzle. Resist the urge to make access to them easier.
Thank you for your appreciation!
Yes, these stunning places of worship have been built intentionally in hard to reach places, and this makes them quite unique. And on the weekends the local people climb to these churches for the mass.
Re-reading my comment, I felt I may have left a wrong impression. My comment about not making access to these sites tourist-friendly came out of casual discussions with people who have a tendency to think in terms of money and see such places from the economic perspective. That, of course, defeats the purpose of these places. In any case my opinion was directed at those people. These places are treasures. They must be left pristine, and not be made easy to scale. But it says something about people who take on the challenge to get there, like you did. A mark of devotion, I must think.
Beautiful work!
No m canso de ver tanta belleza terrenal es impresionante y en un momento de ansiedad m encanta verlos y m gusta la hermosa combinasion musica y video
So beautiful .
Wish I could go there.
Thanks for sharing, amazing place and work
Thanks for watching, cheers :)
Peaceful place
With GOD,,, anything's possible.
Thanks JESUS,,, my LORD and my SAVIOR.
What a great information for a strong and wonderful faith!
Thanks somuch
Oh my God there's no words I can say but that is beautiful amazing and there's nothing that we can't do my brothers and sisters if we trust in him who sits high and looks low over all of us halleluyah shalom.
