አባታችን ቅዱስ አቡነተክለ ሃይማኖት

Our patron saint is the most famous saint in Ethiopia..  And he is the only human on earth given wings!  It is good to note here that Saint Tekla Himanout is one of the very few saints that Christians celebrate their birthday..

Here is his story divided into six parts..  And don't forget to watch St. Takla's Arabic flash movie, narrated by a four years old girl :)  There are also translations of the story: St. Takla's Life in Arabic - St. Takla's Story in French

3. Deaconism of Saint Takla

4. Ordination of St. Tekla as a priest
