Lalibela is a pilgrimage site for members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; the church itself is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Rock-Hewn Churches, Lalibela".

1. Ethiopian Christianity is one of the Christian Faith's Oldest Branches. Here's a fun fact: Ethiopia is actually the second-oldest Christian country in the world (Armenia is the first). Ethiopian Christianity dates back to the fourth century, when King Ezana of Aksum converted to the faith of Jesus Christ.

The largest Protestant group is the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus, with about 5 million members.

For centuries, Judaism coexisted with paganism until the institutionalization of Christianity in 330 CE. Christianity first reached Ethiopia through the Kingdom of Aksum - a mighty state that succeeded the early D'mt Kingdom - through two boys, Frumentius and Aedesius.
