Tigray restored the Episcopal See of the Church back to the Holy City of Axum where Abuna Selama Kesate Berhan established it over 1700 years ago. This is a historic day!
Brief History
—-
Some 1700 years ago a small boat was capsized at the coast of Red Sea, and its sailors were captured by locals. In the boat were among others two children of Syrian origins who were travelling with their uncle. The name of the boys were Frumentius and his brother Edesius. The locals took the two boys and handed them as slaves to the King of Axum.
The two boys soon gained the favour of the king, who raised them to positions of trust. Shortly before his death, the king freed the Syrian brothers. The widowed queen, however, insisted on them to remain at the court and assist her in the education of the young princes, Ezana and Sezana, and in the administration of the kingdom during the princes’ minority. So both Frumentius and Edesius remained in Axum Royal Court and used their influence to spread Christianity.
When princes Ezana and Sezana came of age Edesius travelled back to Syria but Frumentius travelled to Alexandria, where he requested Athanasius, Patriarch of Alexandria, to send a bishop and some priests as missionaries to Axum. By St. Athanasius’s own account, he believed Frumentius to be the most suitable person for the job and consecrated him as the first Archbishop of Axum (circa 328). St. Frumentius returned to Axum (now named Abuna Selama Kesate Berhan), where he erected his Episcopal See at Axum, then converted and baptized Emperor Ezana and Emperor Sezana. In turn the emperors declared christianity state religion of the Axumite Empire (making Axum the first Christian Empire in the world).
Abuna Selama Kesate Berhan is also credit for the first Ge'ez translation of the New Testament, and being involved in the development of Ge'ez script from an abjad (consonantal-only) into an abugida (syllabic).

So, Frumentius was a Syrian man. Was Ezana an Ethiopian. This name Ezana sounds foreign or exotic.For instance, the Queen from Afar , Sheba had given Ethiopian name called Azmina. Did Ezana have a different Ethiopian name than his exotic name? Just for the record, Christianity was not introduced to Ethiopia by refugee but by the Eunuch who was the treasurer of the Nubian Queen known as Candice. Tigray monks are very bad in distorting history.
