Although it had been my intention to primarily gather more information about the Eritrean Orthodox liturgy while continuing my Tigrinya language studies I ended up spending most of my time with and learning from the Eritrean Catholic community.http://newchelsea.net/gallery/albums/sersas-sean10/sersas_sean_2010_001.thumb.jpg
