Debra Sina is a village in the highlands of Eritrea that is the site of a pilgrimage by thousands of Eritrean Orthodox believers each year in June. The pilgrimage centres on a church above the village where a vision of Mary, Mother of Jesus was said to have been seen by shepherd girls beneath a large boulder. The church is built adjacent to and over the rock where the vision was seen. The pilgrimage includes thousands of ordinary Eritrean believers camping for one night in the village of Debra Sina, singing, drumming, chanting and celebrating Mary.
