Holy Trinity Cathedral, Eastern Orthodox cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Holy Trinity Cathedral is an Eastern Orthodox church building in Ethiopia featuring an octagonal design with multiple interior spaces. Three separate altars are dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Saint John the Baptist, and Our Lady Covenant of Mercy.
The cathedral was built in 1928 under imperial command to mark an important moment in Ethiopian history. Construction took place during a period of significant change for the nation.
This place holds deep spiritual meaning for the Ethiopian Orthodox community and shapes religious life throughout the city. Visitors can observe how worshippers engage with their faith here and witness the building's role as a center of daily spiritual practice.
