According to the beliefs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, it was the
era of Henos that had witnessed the inception of the alphabet. Henos was a
faithful and righteous servant of God. He was rewarded for his honest work
through a divine gift of the alphabet so that this would serve him as an
instrument for codifying the laws. That is, the heavens opened their gates to him
and the scriptures were revealed to him. From then onwards, he had used the
alphabet as a medium of literature. The script was named ‘Fidel’, meaning writing.
There are 26 letters in the Ge’ez alphabet. All the ancient books and works of
literature in Ethiopia have been preserved in the Ge’ez language. Originally, the Ge’
ez alphabet did not have vowel sounds but only consonant ones. The initiative for
modernizing the Ge’ez alphabet by creating vowel sounds was taken by Abba
Frementius or Kasate Berhan Selama and other Ethiopian Scholars. By doing so
they won a niche in the hall of fame in Ethiopia.

As we are introduced to various cultural experiences we have the propensity to
integrate a portion of the culture to which we are exposed. Cultural experiences
lead to the same beginning as the source from which it comes.
Enlightenment!
