Ethiopians observe Christmas with great fervor, demonstrating a profound commitment to their Orthodox Christian faith. Despite ongoing efforts to undermine Orthodox Christianity in the country, which include violent acts against its adherents and the promotion of the Protestant Prosperity Gospel by televangelists such as Kenneth Copeland, the resilience of Orthodoxy has only strengthened.

The challenges faced by the Orthodox community have not diminished their devotion; rather, they have galvanized a deeper sense of identity and purpose among believers. The celebration of Christmas serves as a testament to this enduring faith, as Ethiopians come together to honor their traditions and spiritual heritage.
Despite @AbiyAhmedAli‘s persistent attempts to demolish Orthodox Christianity in ???????? by killing Orthodoxes & promoting Protestant Prosperity Gospel preached by televangelists like Kenneth Copeland have only made Orthodoxy more resilient.

In the face of adversity, the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia continues to thrive, with its followers steadfast in their beliefs. The juxtaposition of external pressures and internal fortitude highlights the remarkable ability of the Orthodox community to maintain its cultural and religious practices, ensuring that the essence of their faith remains vibrant and unyielding.

I join my very dear Christian brothers and sisters in their prayers for peace and stability for those noble and upright people who we left behind. In such an occasion we should get united across religious and ethnic lines to hope and pray together for peace. Enough with senseless bloody and destructive conflicts. Enough, enough, enough is enough!!! Insha’Allah!!!
