Overview Ethiopia is one of the countries where Christianity was introduced before the schism of the one Christian Church. Its ancient civilisation was closely associated with Christianity, which strongly shaped the socio-cultural views and habits of its people, including the veneration of saints. In this session, Calum goes into more detail and cites examples.
