This news went unnoticed on many mainstream media, just a few days ago. It was however a great tragedy for the country and nation torn apart by civil war already. “Up to 1,000 people—including priests and other church leaders — have been killed in a series of attacks in Ethiopia, culminating in a massacre at a church where the Ark of the Covenant is believed to be kept.” (Courtesy of aletia.com, read below)

Someone commented on this tragedy asking why the Church in XXI century still interferes in the life of predominantly Muslim lands. We need to correct this statement. Before the Islam became a religion there was already people baptised in Ethiopia. It is the country that received Faith in Christ at the same time Emperor Constantine received Christianity in Europe. The church where the massacre took place is a scared Christian site, whereas the story goes on, the lost Ark of the Covenant is preserved.
