Summary

[edit]
Description

At least one and one-half millenia separate the ruins of the Great Obelisk at Axum, Ethiopia, in the foreground and the new Church of St. Mary of Zion in the background.

According to sacred-destinations.com,

"In 1955, to mark his Silver Jubilee, Emperor Haile Selassie founded a new Church of St. Mary of Zion next to the old one. It was completed in 1964. Emperor Selassie interrupted the state visit to Ethiopia of Queen Elizabeth II to attend the dedication of the Cathedral. The British monarch visited St. Mary of Zion herself a few days later. Unlike the original St. Mary of Zion, the new St. Mary of Zion allows entrance to women."
