The ancient Axumite Kingdom, now a part of Ethiopia, was possibly
the first nation in the world to convert to Christianity. In AD 340
King Ezana commissioned the construction of the imposing basilica
of St. Mary of Tsion. It was here, the Ethiopians say, that
Menelik, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, brought the
Ark of the Covenant containing the Ten Commandments. By the fifth
century, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church had spread beyond Axum into
the countryside, aided by nine saints from Byzantium, and over the
next ten centuries a series of spectacular churches were either
built or excavated out of solid rock in the region, all of them in
regular use to this day. Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
has the best known cluster, but the northern state of Tigray, less
famous and more remote, has many churches that are masterpieces of
design.Ethiopia: The Living Churches of an Ancient Kingdom traces
the broad sweep of ecclesiastical history, legend, art, and faith
in this sub-Saharan African kingdom and describes some seventy of
the most breathtaking churches, with their astounding architecture,
colorful decoration, and important religious festivals, all
illustrated by more than eight hundred superb color photographs by
some of the most celebrated international photographers of
traditional cultures. This magnificent, large-format, full-color
volume is the most comprehensive celebration yet published of the
extraordinary Christian architectural and cultural heritage of
Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the third book on iconic sacred places
published by Ludwig Publishing and the American University in Cairo
Press, following the bestselling success of The Churches of Egypt
and The History and Religious Heritage of Old Cairo.
