One of the parishioners at our Greek Orthodox parish is from Lalibela. His wife’s family is from Axum, also mentioned in the article. They are very devout Orthodox people.
They had a baby girl three years ago. They named her Martha, “after Martha Washington because she is an American baby!” You just gotta love these folks!

“They are very devout Orthodox people.”
With Lent arriving within days, food is on my mind!
The combination of Greek cooking and Ethiopean dishes is causing me to drool.

An Ethiopian Orthodox congregation bought a church in our neighborhood from a Baptist congregation that had become too small. The place looks packed during services. The women dress to the nines in beautiful dresses and shawls.
