The church of Yemrehanna Kristos is one of Ethiopia's best-preserved late Axumite churches, and is named for a twelfth-century Zagwe priest-king and saint. It is set in a spectacular landscape of juniper trees located inside a large natural cavern on a hill in northern Ethiopia, predating the famous nearby rock-hewn churches of Lalibela by almost a century. The walls of the building were constructed with alternating layers of recessed timber beams and projecting plastered stone, and the windows are covered by carved cruciform lattices. The interior is divided into a nave and two side aisles by masonry pillars and arches, with a domed sanctuary on the east end. (>> WMF)

South of the church is a tomb of Yemrehanna Kristos which is describes as "a substantial cloth-covered structure", and alongside it a smaller tomb said to belong to his slave, Ebna Yemrehana Krestos. (>> Wikipedia)

In the back of the cave behind the church is a large area with numerous skeletons, several wrapped in reed mats. While preservation is generally poor, a few skulls retain their hair.
It was told that the this are skeletons of monks and others, who have been buried in this holy spot, some dating from Yimrehana Krestos time.
