Born a short walk from Bete Giyorgis, I trained as a heritage guide in 2014. I know the priests, the tunnels and the stories behind every carved window.

    Felt like I was really there. The guide answered every question and the connection held up the whole way.

    My grandmother was born near here. Seeing it live, with someone who knew the history, meant a lot to our family.
