1st postcard from Ethiopia!!!

This week started really well! A great postcard and a new country in my list. Here it is:



In the postcard you can see the Church of St. George in Lalibela, Ethiopia. It's one of UNESCO world heritage sites and was excavated from the Lasta mountains. On the stamps, 2 Menelik Bushbucks.

Curiosity about Ethiopia:
  • Ethiopia is the oldest Christian kingdom in the world. This country, once known as Abyssinia, was the first to accept the Old Testament, as well as the New, much earlier than other countries. 
Best Wishes!
