Traders coming from the Roman Empire had settled in the Axumite region and had prayer houses in cities such as Adulis and Axum.
In the bible, the Acts of the Apostles, a eunuch in charge of the Ethiopian Queen Candace’s treasures travelled to Jerusalem to worship the God of Israel.
While there he met Deacon Philip and was baptized by him. Ethiopian folklore claims that he would return to Ethiopia and convert his people.
The more confident you become, the more you’ll be able to calm the voice inside you that says, “I can’t do it.” You’ll be able to unhook from your thoughts and take action in line with your values.
If you’ve suffered from low self-confidence, you’re probably familiar with rumination, or the tendency to mull over worries and perceived mistakes, replaying them ad nauseam. Excessive rumination is linked to both anxiety and depression, and it can make us withdraw from the world. But by filling up your tank with confidence, you’ll be able to break the cycle of over-thinking and quiet your inner critic.
Unlike in other nations, Christianity as a religion of the state of Ethiopia did not come about as a result of organized conversion activities from foreign sources.
Instead, Christianity was adopted because of the desire and will of the ruler at the time: Emperor Ezana.
In other parts of the world Christianity was confined to the lower levels of society for many centuries and strictly despised and rejected by the upper ruling classes.
In Ethiopia, the reverse is true, Christianity was first adopted by the royal family and through their influence, it slowly penetrated the commoners.
The Roman Empire had Apostles and Church fathers actively engaged in the conversion of their people, while in Ethiopia it was voluntarily adopted.
