Тhe holy lands of Ethiopia. Millions of Christians believe that the Church of the Virgin Mary from Zion keeps the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant or more of the Kiwat is described in the Bible as a sacred chest containing the stone tablets with the Ten Commandments written on them.
According to the Bible, the Making of the Kiwat was commanded by the God of Moses in the Sinai Mountain. The Kiwat was initially kept in the Tabernacle, and later in Solomon's Temple until a trace disappeared completely. Made of acacia wood and embroidered with gold, on its lid the kiwat had two cherubs made. According to the Bible, the Kiwat served as a powerful weapon.
The Israelites wore it everywhere, with him marvelously defeated in battles. An ordinary man touched him - he died for his boldness.
Is it possible that the Kiwat has fallen into Ethiopia and indeed kept in the church of St. Virgin Mary of Zion - the most important church in Ethiopia?
Everyone in Ethiopia believe this! For Kivota there is the sacred right to care for a single monk pointed out before the death of the previous guardian, and this monk can not leave the land of the church and must serve on the coffin of the Kiwat. In the heart of Ethiopia is one of its most sacred towns, known for eleven monolithic rock churches. They are the largest monolithic temples in the world, but there are still puzzles around them.
Lalibela is a treasure trove of exceptional evidence of Ethiopia's medieval and post-medieval civilization. Lalibela is one of the most sacred cities in Ethiopia, and its inhabitants are Orthodox Christians.
The Ethiopian is one of the first peoples to accept Christianity in the early fourth century, and the historical roots of Ethiopian Christianity date back to the time of the apostles.
Will the truth ever be revealed?
