There are plenty of statues of angels and ornate decorations on the rooftop, culminating in an impressive dome. There is a virtual forest of statues out front, with angels and scholars competing for space. The inside of the church is equally impressive. The high ceilings of the side corridors give way to the tremendous height of the central dome. Large paintings of both Ethiopian and Western style cover the walls.
Deep rugs cover the floor.
Around the front of the church there are a number of paintings depicting important points in the history of Ethiopia during Haile Selassie's time. The arrival of the British forces that helped throw out the Italians is given prominence. There are two tombs at the front, one for Haile Selassie's wife, Empress Menen, and the other awaiting the anticipated entombment of the bones of Emperor Haile Selassie.
