Receive the faith. Pass it on.

Learning within the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo tradition.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, one God.

A life of prayer and worship

The monastery’s purpose is to nurture a life centered on Christ through prayer, the Divine Liturgy, the sacraments, fasting, charity, and fellowship. Families, elders, and young people each have a place in preserving this living tradition.

Learn with the Church

These resources come from Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church organizations. They offer a starting point for study. For personal spiritual guidance, preparation for the sacraments, or questions about fasting and worship, speak with your spiritual father or the monastery clergy.
