Celebrating Liturgy at the Ethiopian Orthodox Chapel, part of the building complex that is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, is something quite extraordinary. The church claims its origins from Philip the Evangelist (Acts of the Apostles, chapter 8) and became an established church in the 4th century through the efforts of the Syrian Greek Frumentius. Services are held in the Ge'ez language. The Ethiopian Church is one of the oldest Churches in the world. God bless the Ethiopians!
