The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is one of the oldest organized Christian bodies in the world. The church was formed in the 4th century, after Christianity had been embraced by the Ethiopian emperor at the time, Ezana. It has played a dominant role in Ethiopia’s culture and politics and served as the official religion until the country’s monarchy was overthrown in 1974.
