Dear Children of God! How are you? How have you been on this fast season of “Prophets Fast?” This is a fast Prophets fasted for the Prophecies for the Holy Father’s Son, the Holy Son to be Born from our Holy Mother Saint Virgin Mary and redeem the world. For this reason, we fast a-same following the prophets example for the salvation of our soul.

Little ones, if you remember, on our last lesson, we have seen on how “Pictures of Salvation” are painted. Now, we will learn about the types of colors we use to paint the Holy Icons (pictures of Salvation).

Remnant

The Holy Book tells us that remnant locally known as “Trufan” refers to those who survived war, exile, and captivity. The root word, “Tiruf,” literally means “that which remains, that which is left over, a remainder, a surplus/extra.” (Metsihafe Sewasew Wegis We-Mezgebe Kalat Hadis, page 903)

The Twenty-Four Heavenly Priests

Alpha and Omega, the Lord Who was praised and sanctified before the creation of the world by Himself, is also glorified and sanctified by His creatures who are created in praise of Him and inheritance of His Glory. Mainly, Angels and man are foremost the performance of this work. (Book of Aximaros of Sabbath)

Tabote Tsion

The very great abode of God, The Arc of the covenant locally known as “Tabote Tsion” is Ethiopia’s most sacred. It came to our country in the reign of Menelik the 1st , the son of Queen of Sheba. The story is in scripted in the book of “Kibra Negest.”

Lost identity

Almost all of human minds question about identity. Even though it is not known how many of us have answered that question, based on the knowledge and experience we gained from human history we might have some awareness. Especially from the church where we learn the word of God, we have a bit of an understanding on why we were created and the meaning of our existence.

Why did Prophets fast?

All the human race sinfully caved for 5500 in agony and rut in calamity, hoped for the covenant of The Son of The Holy Father, The Holy Son, vowed to Adam to come to this world in saving Him. The Prophet foretold about the fulfillment of this prophecy.

Abune Abib

Abba Bula, who was surnamed ‘Abib departed on Tikmet 25. His name meaning Bula “servant of God” and Abib to mean “Father of Many.”

The influence of unemployment and resolutions

Unemployment, also known as joblessness is seen as a “disruption to an individual’s God-given calling or vocation.” The Book of Genesis states primarily “And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life.” (Genesis 3:17) Holy Orthodox Incarnation has the moral obligation in creating environment for the vocation to be fulfilled.

Abune Aragawi of Dabra Damo

On blessed and holiday Tikmet 14, our holy Father Aragawi, who is surnamed ZaMikael disappeared.  This holy man became a guide to the servants of God on the road.  He went up to the holy Dabra Damo holding the tail of a serpent, and there he fought countless noble fights.
