Jesus and the Tree

Alot of color is incorporated into the murals of
these churches. Honestly, the most colorful churches
I have ever seen, by far. This is a section of a mural
on the outside wall of a church, which is actually an
interior building, covered to protect the mural.
The writing is in Amharic, Ethiopia's native language.

My interpretation: Stop pulling my robe, why is Mary trying
to cut my halo. Hmmm, pretty tree. I also have a napkin. All in
Jesus's voice of course.


Taken at a monastery on Lake Tana, Ethiopia.
