This is the courtyard between the Maryam (to left) and Meskel (rear) churches. A large pool is at the gathering of people in the center of the view.
This pool may be used for baptisms. It is coated with green duckweed. The green pool also shows up between the canopies in the most recent satellite photo on the Preservation page.
A side wall of the Maryam church with symbolisms in the designs of the windows. A protective canopy is above this stone church.
Our guide is pointing out symbolisms in the carved windows beside the entrance to the Maryam church.
