Ethiopian Cardinal Berhaneyesus Souraphiel, Archbishop of Addis Ababa, presides over the Divine Liturgy in the Geʽez Rite concelebrated with Eritrean Archbishop Menghesteab Tesfamariam, a Comboni missionary, of Asmara. The Ethiopian and Eritrean Catholic Churches are juridically structured as Metropolitan Churches sui iuris, and both belong to the Alexandrian tradition and share the Ge‘ez liturgy.
