Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, Ethiopia

Now, this church is called the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. It's located in Ethiopia and has managed to garner quite a reputation. A lot of rumors have been circulating regarding this church. Most of them are pretty wild. One of them, for instance, states that the original Ten Commandments, along with the Ark of the Covenant, are stored somewhere in the church. Now isn't that something?

It's also said that only one person in the entire world is allowed to see the Ark, and that person is a monk appointed by his predecessor.
