Most Ethiopians are Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Christians or Muslims. There is also a large and growing Protestant (P'ent'ay) community, and smaller Catholic and other groups.
What should I wear to visit an Orthodox church in Ethiopia?
Cover your shoulders and knees, and women should cover their hair with a scarf (netela). You'll also remove your shoes at the entrance of the inner church.
