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.

deluge and brought Kingship to human beings in exchange for gold to
protect the deteriorating and fragile atmosphere of their planet.

One of the symbols of the Hebrew (African/Edenic) faith; a chest that
was God's pledge of divine protection. This vessel contained the Word
and Law of God: "And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I
shall give thee" (Exod. 25:16). The Word and Law of God inscribed in the
Ark of the Covenant, was brought to Jerusalem by Moses and to Aksum
by Menyelek I, Solomon's firstborn son and the first Emperor of Ethiopia.
The Ark of the Covenant resides in Axum, Ethiopia, in the 'Chapel of the
Tablet' where it was moved to within Our Lady St. Mary of Zion temple
(picture to your right) due to climatic issues. Thus, the children of Israel,
bearing the Word and Law of God in their midst, became the focal point
of the power of God, which emanated from them throughout all of Africa
(Eden) and the world.

In Ethiopia, the ceremony of inaugurating a new ruler was purely
religious and liturgical. It opens with the reading of Psalm 122. The
Patriarch then, in the presence of leading ecclesiastics, places the crown
upon the monarch, seated on a throne, and says: "May God grant that this
crown be a halo of holiness and glory. May you by your prayers, preserve
your faith unshaken and unconquerable! May you be pure in heart even
as this gold is pure." To this blessing the emperor replies, "Amen." The
Abuna presents the monarch as "(So and so) descended from the Dynasty
of Menelik I, the first born son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a
dynasty which has been perpetuated without interruption until our
day." With his hand on the Bible, the ruler takes an oath, "to maintain
the Orthodox religion, the laws of the Empire, the integrity of the
territories of the country, and to support the founding of religious (and
secular) schools and institutions."
The Emperor would then be given a sword known as the "Sword of
Solomon," with the exhortation: By this sword execute true justice,
protect the church, the widows, and the orphans, restore that which
needs to be restored, chastise the wicked, render honor to the righteous;
and with it serve our Savior Jesus Christ." After the chanting of Psalm
110, the emperor is thus given the royal scepter and orb. Following a
ring is then placed on the emperor's right hand, saying, "Accept this as a
symbol of your Imperial glory." The actual anointing of the sovereign
with holy chrism takes place after the chief priest of the convent of
Debre Libanos says a long prayer. The ceremony is concluded by the
Abuna with the blessing "May it be the will of God that this be a crown of
sanctity and glory." May you by our prayers, preserve your faith
unshakable and your heart pure, and inherit the crown of eternal life.
Amen.
During the ceremony the two persons closest to the emperor- the
empress and the crown prince- are presented and blessed. Following the
crowning of the emperor, the empress is given a ring by a bishop, who
says: “Let your faith shine even as these jewels.” Then the emperor,
taking her crown from the Archbishop, says: “As I have been made to
receive from your hands the Crown of the Empire which our God has
given unto me, so it is my firm desire that my empress shall in my glory
receive from me this crown which I ask your holiness to [place upon her.”
The Archbishop then places the crown upon the empress. At the end of
the ceremony, the crown prince, if present, profess his allegiance to his
father. The emperor presents his right hand, saying: “May the Most High
make you a worthy successor to my force, my power, my throne, and my
crown.” The crown prince replies, “Amen,” and kisses the right hand of
his father.

Formerly the only distinctive mark of honor for princes had been their
golden headgear. But now We arranged that the golden headgear should
be for Rases who had been appointed by virtue of hard work and
services, while for the Crown Prince and for princes of royal descent We
had made a pearl-studded head-gear (coronet), smaller than a crown but
excelling the golden headgear in size and in beauty of workmanship; for
the ladies of Our family and the wives of princes golden diadems,
smaller than those for princes, and corresponding to their rank. My Life
and Ethiopia's Progress, Volume One: 1892-1937

FASTING
Fasting = Tribute of the Body
Purpose of fasting: to weaken the force of concupiscence and to make the
latter submit to the rational soul.
One who fasts is enabled to realize the suffering of hunger and may have
pity for the hungry and those who ask alms.
When one fasts he worships the Lord with the animal half of his nature,
whereas with prayer he worships the Lord with his spiritual half of his
nature.

"The flag with the red, yellow, and green with Our seal "the Lion of Judah
hath prevailed"(Revelation 5:5) is the symbol of Ethiopia's
independence, its a symbol of freedom."
"The value of a flag springs from the sacrifices made to defend it, as the
symbol of Our independence. Otherwise there is no difference between a
flag and any other piece of cloth.
Our flag is a source of eternal inspiration, loyalty, and a symbol of the
sacred duty and obligation as a soldier - to him it is a moral sentinel."

These royal seals are from the reign of King Zedekiah, who ruled the
kingdom of Judah during the time of the Prophet Jeremiah. Dated to the
6th Century B.C., they corroborate the Biblical account written in the
Book of Jeremiah, where he warned the people about coming destruction
from the Babylonians.
“Now Shephatiah the son of Mattan, Gedaliah the son of Pashhur, Jehucal
the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur the son of Malchiah heard the words
that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people… Therefore the princes said
to the king, ‘Please, let this man be put to death, for thus he weakens the
hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the
people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the
welfare of this people, but their harm.” (Jeremiah 38:1)
“King Zedekiah, however, sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah with the priest
Zephaniah son of Maaseiah to Jeremiah the prophet with this message:
‘Please pray to the LORD our God for us.’” (Jeremiah 37:3)
