Jerusalem, Israel

These are Ethiopian monks, but they are not in Ethiopia. They sit outside their dwellings on the roof of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at the very epicenter of Christianity. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is one of six sects that share rites here; All of them are among the earliest Christian churches in existence. Their sandals?  Palestinian. [2010]
