Ezana's Stone

The Ezana Stone is a stele from Aksum, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum. The stone monument documents King Ezana's conversion to Christianity and his conquest of various nearby regions, including Meroë. From AD 330 to 356, King Ezana ruled the ancient Kingdom of Aksum centered in the Horn of Africa.
He fought against the Nubians and commemorated his victories on stone tablets in praise of God. These liturgical epigraphs were written in several ancient languages, including Ethiopian Semitic Ge'ez, South Arabian Sabaeans, and Greek. The king's stone carvings provided a trilingual monument in different languages, similar to the Rosetta Stone.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church had its beginnings during this period. Rufinus's Ecclesiastical History recounts that Saint Frumentius, a freed slave and tutor for the very young king, converted him to Christianity. Towards the end of his reign, King Ezana launched a campaign against the Kush*tes around 350 which brought down the Kingdom of Kush. Various stone inscriptions written in Ge'ez (using the Ge'ez script) have been found in Meroë, the central city of the Kush*tes.

Today marks 1 year since the when 160 priests, elders, children & newlyweds were killed because of their Tigray|an identity. This is the final story in a series of 5 outlining different priests' experiences of the massacre.

Priest Abreha Abay (65) was known as “The library of the village”. He was the keeper of every bit of information about the village of Maryam Dengelat. He knew every genealogical line around, every kinship, every event, the history & specific dates of events very, very well.

Many people used to travel to the village to acquire information from him. He was also a well educated religious scholar and a teacher of many deacons at Maryam Dengelat.

Priest Abreha was inside the church when the Eritrean troops arrived. They asked him to come out to them & he responded, “What are you doing in the place of God, which is not allowed to you?" The Eritrean troops were very angry at the question and shot him down to the ground.

Priest Abreha's brother Semer Abay (in his 50s) was also shot, but fortunately he did not die.
Priest Abreha was known to be direct, open, helpful and a man full of theological thinking and religious understanding.

Some of you may know that above the Maryam Dengelat church and monastery there sits an ancient rock hewn church. It’s about 10 stories up (30 meters) and the long arduous pathway to the church was swept away in the 17th century. The sheer surface of the rock and the rock’s sandstone composition made ascents and access to the church very difficult. In 2019 a group of Italian mountaineers helped create a path to be used by priests to enter the church on a more regular basis: https://www.ethiopiaobserver.com/2020/05/04/the-reopening-and-re-consecration-of-a-once-inaccessible-church

Inside the church they discovered many interesting artefacts which exemplified how connected Maryam Dengelat was to the wider world 400 years ago.

Some two months before the massacre Priest Abreha told my relative Hagos, "My nephew, I am always begging God not to take me before entering the reopened church". But alas, these soldiers did not give him the chance to fulfil his dream. He was killed for being a Tigrayan priest.

In this conflict, I was initially struck by the complete lack of reverence for priests, churches and places of worship. Holy sites in Tigray have historically provided sanctuary for citizens during times of conflict. Some generals, for example, advised my own ancestor Ras Sebhat that there was a strategic advantage to have a certain battle near Maryam Dengelat and Sebhat refused because he did not believe Maryam Dengelat should be disturbed. That’s consistent with a lot of local history.

But I have come to understand that targeting revered figures like priests, sites of cultural and community significance like churches, mosques and museums has been a deliberate, intentional component of an organized attempt to destroy the Tigrayan people.

Resistance is justified.

Even from afar we can choose to esteem the memory of those lost, uplift survivors, tell our historical stories, celebrate Tigrayan culture, hold perpetrators accountable, stay active in ensuring better, smarter governance going forward. A powerful resistance to

I’m grateful to my relative Hagos Gebremariam for sharing these 5 priests’ stories & encouraging their circulation.

Maryam Dengelat is hosting a memorial combined with the festival this year. No trauma services have yet reached the community.
