The cathedral is located on Arbate Asmara Street. NameIn the Tigrinya language enda (እንዳ), when combined with another noun, indicates a structure associated with that other thing. Thus enda bani (bread) means a bakery, enda afras (horses) means a stable, enda dewel (bell) means a church tower or belfry, enda tseba (milk) means a dairy.[1] Mariam (ማርያም) means Mary. The church is also called Kidisti Mariam (Saint Mary).[2] DescriptionIn its present rationalist/modernist style, the church dates from 1938, when an unknown Italian architect,[3] added the upper portions of the two flanking towers and the modernistic treatment of the façade to the 1920 form designed by Ernesto Gallo.[2][3][4] The 1920 form has also been attributed to Odoardo Cavagnari,[5] who designed Asmara's Opera and Asmara's futuristic Fiat Tagliero service station,[6] and who was Asmara's Chief of Public Works,[7] Both the central block and the two large freestanding square towers that flank it are built in alternate layers of brick and stone, emulating the layers of wood and stone of Aksumite architecture, a technique that has been for centuries in use in the Eritrean highlands. The protruding wooden support beams in these structures have been named "monkey heads".[4][8][9] Earlier formsIn his account of the visit to Eritrea in 1891 by a Royal Commission sent by the Italian government, Ferdinando Martini, in line with his derogatory attitude towards all matters concerning the native "Abyssinians", described the then church at Asmara as less decent than the huts for hay in Italian farmyards.[10] The illustrated fourth (1896) edition of his book includes a photograph of the church,[11] some seven metres long, with traditional "monkey head" walls and a thatched roof whose projection beyond the walls was supported by rough poles. A 1922 photograph of the church and its two towers in their 1920 form[12] shows that it then had no trace of the modernistic elements that in 1938 made it decidedly more elegant. Other prominent religious buildingsIt is one of three prominent religious landmarks in the city, the others being the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary and Kulafah Al Rashidan Great Mosque.[13] Annual feastThe church's Nigdet (religious feast) of Saint Mary is celebrated on 30 November (1 December if the following Gregorian calendar year is a leap year).[14] References1. ^Tigrinya-English English-Tigrinya Dictionary {{commonscat|Nda Mariam}}{{Asmara}}2. ^1 Eritrean Ministry of Information, "History of Saint Mary Church" 3. ^1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=MlWrCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT14&dq=%22Asmara+E+Gallo%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22Asmara%20E%20Gallo%22&f=false Sean Anderson, Modern Architecture and its Representation in Colonial Eritrea: An In-visible Colony, 1890-1941 (Routledge 2016), Illustration 2.34] {{ISBN|978-1-31709477-7}} 4. ^1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=Qi-KQchGks8C&pg=PA117&dq=Denison+%22original+church%22+hidmo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjH1p7Y34LSAhWCJMAKHVPnCGEQ6AEIMTAA#v=onepage&q=Denison%20%22original%20church%22%20hidmo&f=false Edward Denison, Edward Paice, Eritrea: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides 2007), p. 117] {{ISBN|978-1-84162171-5}} 5. ^Fidelity House, "Guida di Asmara" 6. ^[https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/apr/17/asmara-eritrea-fiat-tagliero-service-station-history-cities-50-buildings The Guardian, "Asmara's Fiat Tagliero service station: a history of cities in 50 buildings, day 18"] 7. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=Qi-KQchGks8C&pg=PA84&lpg=PA84&dq=cavagnari+asmara&source=bl&ots=M1_JQQJgyD&sig=WG7aCiqDIKEugfLs3VILrvuu6rI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiJl93OpIHSAhXmAsAKHT0ACKgQ6AEIMTAE#v=onepage&q=cavagnari%20asmara&f=false Edward Denison, Edward Paice, Eritrea: The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guides 2007), p. 84] {{ISBN|978-1-84162171-5}} 8. ^Lonely Planet Ethiopia & Eritrea.
