St Gabriel Ethiopian Othodox Church

Beautiful church! Sadly I had to come here not for a good celebration. A friend of mine (28 years old) passed away last week so his funeral service was here on Saturday morning.
It was a beautiful service and quite unique for someone who grew up Catholic. Plus the whole service was in Ethiopian but through body language, singing and chanting, I didn’t feel left out and followed along with what was happening. It definitely is an older church but it is spacious and the painted murals and stained glass are gorgeous.
If you are looking for a beautiful church and can understand the Ethiopian language, they have several services here on Sundays.
I was happy to experience a new beautiful place and to send farewell wishes to my friend this weekend. I would be back for service if I can get one of my Ethiopian friends to accompany me! Hopefully no more funerals here for me!
