In this book Christopher Roche’s lens brilliantly captures the biblical scenes of a faith that is as alive today as it was when it arrived in Ethiopia almost two thousand years ago.
As he journeys through the northern highlands Chris witnesses the magical, holy festivals of Genna in Lalibela and Timket in Gondar, and explores the remote rock-hewn churches of Tigray.
This is a story of legend and adventure: the Queen of Sheba, the Ark of the Covenant, angels and serpents.
Above all it is the story of a dignified people and their great spiritual devotion. Chris’ photography reveals both the intimate and the epic aspects of this devotion, illuminating private moments and monumental landscapes. It is a testament to a tradition that now faces the erosive forces of mass tourism and consumerism.
