I was staying at the trinity hotel and walked over to this church and loved it. took my shoes off and hat and was blown away by the paintings of the ceiling. I mean nowhere have I seen a painting of God being black. I was taken aback that a christian church had an image of God as a black man. Then I thought Im in Africa so why not!

Fascinating church with amazing stained glass and tombs of Haile Selassie and his wife, plus extensive graveyard of famous Ethiopians and the UK's Sylvia Pankhurst and her son Richard. Well worth visiting

While visiting Merkato market, stopped in Anwar Mosque few minutes. A nice and big mosque in a very crowded area. Many book stalls and mini libraries near the entrance. A big area for ablution to accommodate the huge number of prayers. Nice and decorated walls and ceiling. Verses of Quran written on the interior dome. Kids outside to clean or take care of the shops for few birrs.
