Many of the walls of the rock-hewn churches have intricate reliefs. This particular relief of our Lord was only accessible to men; my step-son had to take a picture for me! Our tour guide, Kassa, told me why: when our Lord rose from the dead on Easter morning, He warned Mary not to touch him. This led to the rule in this church that women were not to even look upon the Lord's image!
Verse of the Day
“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:6-8
