Peace March Ethiopia team visited 1631 years old histrorical monastry site!

An historical site, which was built in fourth century AD, has been visited yesterday November 8, 2009 by Ethiopian March for Peace and Nonviolence team. The team begins the march in the morning, 7.30am to the monastry site marching through high hills and bush of Northern Addis Ababa and finally reached the church known as Washa Michael (literaly, Michael of the Cave) after 2 hours climbing.

The march under the slogan for Peace and Nonviolence comprised 25 members and invited guests, including an Israeli photographer and a Ducth musician.
According to the monastry officals, two Ethiopian saint kings built this ancient monolithic cave church, manually. The site was a refuge for peace seekers and had been serving spritual activities for many centuries.
