Qeddus Rufā'ēl Church

An original foundation was erected in 1874 EC (1881/2 CE) by order of Emperor Menilek, but burned down soon thereafter. After residing in other churches in Addis Ababa, the ark was moved to the site of the present church on 3 Pāgwmēn 1902 EC (8 September 1910 CE), where a building was constructed by Fitāwrāri Habta Giyorgis Dināgdē; renovations to the roof were undertaken at the instigation of Empress Manan.
