Christianity in Ethiopia

Christianity in Ethiopia, primarily practiced by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, is one of the world's oldest Christian traditions, dating back to the 4th century. It has deeply shaped Ethiopian culture, identity, and history. The church emphasizes sacred rituals, unique liturgical practices, and a rich body of religious texts. Christianity is intertwined with national pride, often celebrated through festivals, art, and architecture like ancient churches carved from rock. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church remains a vital spiritual and cultural cornerstone, coexisting with other Christian denominations and religions within Ethiopia’s diverse society.
