St George's Cathedral is an Orthodox cathedral in Addis Ababa. It is noted for its distinctive octagonal form. Empress Zewditu of Ethiopia was crowned at this Cathedral in 1917, and Emperor Haile Selassie was crowned there in 1930, and it became a pilgrimage site for Rastafarians. Mount Entoto is the highest peak overlooking Addis Ababa. It is a sacred place and there are many monasteries here. Back in 1882 Menelik II left the royal grounds of Ankober and built his palace here. It is from here that he (his wife Empress Taitu actually) saw Addis Ababa (Beautiful Flower) which subsequently became the capital of Ethiopia. Menelik II and his wife Taitu built a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary here, the Maryam Church. The emperor was actually crowned in his church in 1889 and subsequently made it the head church.

Situated in the foothills of the Entoto Mountains and standing 2,400 metres above sea level it is the third highest capital in the world (also the World's 6th dirtiest city). The city has a population of about four million. Addis Ababa is a noisy and chaotic town because of its traffic but Addis Ababa is a city with hubris, faith, hope, chaos and vibrancy… having one of the fastest rates of urban growth in the world…

Located in the northeast corner of Africa, Ethiopia is a beautiful yet poor country that suffers from droughts and floods and the remnants of a Communist regime that decimated the country. About 85% of the population must rely on subsistence farming. The capital, Addis Ababa, is a city of contrasts with the very, very rich living side-by-side with the most impoverished. Ancient Orthodox churches and modern buildings inhabit the same city streets…..

Holy Trinity Cathedral, known in Amharic as Kidist Selassie, is the highest-ranking Orthodox cathedral in Addis Ababa. It was built to commemorate Ethiopia's liberation from Italian occupation and is the second most important place of worship in Ethiopia, after the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion in Axum.

Ethiopia, formerly called Abyssinia, is one of the oldest Christian countries in the world. Perched atop Africa’s highest plateau, the country is protected by forbidding deserts and tropical lowlands. Despite its apparent mountainous isolation, Ethiopia has long been a crossroads for Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean, and a site of dynamic interaction between people from throughout the world. A fascinating and rich history includes legends claiming that the Aksumite Kingdom dates back to when the Queen of Sheba ruled the land, and that Ethiopia’s first king, Menelik I, was the son of this queen and King Solomon of Israel.
