For centuries, the great relic was kept in the Church of Mary of Zion, where the emperor Iyasu is recorded as having seen it and spoken to it in 1691. Now it is kept in the Chapel of the Tablet, which was built beside the church during the reign of the last emperor Haile Selassie. The relic is entrusted to a single guardian, who burns incense before it and recites the Biblical Book of Psalms. No one else can approach it, including the high priest of Aksum. The guardian is not only a monk, but a virgin as well, and he serves the Ark until he appoints a successor as his own death approaches.<\/p>\n<p>The classic account of the Ark in Tigray is found in a medieval epic written in Geez, The Glory of Kings. It describes how the Queen of Sheba had heard that King Solomon possessed great wisdom, and traveled to Jerusalem so that she could learn to govern her own people more wisely. When she arrived, Solomon was impressed by her intelligence as well as her beauty. He began to hope that he might have a child by her, although the epic is anxious to tell its readers that the king was not driven by lust, but by a plan to fill the earth with sons who would be serve the God of Israel. The queen did conceive a son, and after he had grown he set out from Tigray to visit his father. Solomon anointed him as king of Tigray, and then instructed the elders of Israel to send their own sons to Africa to serve him as counselors. Because the young Israelites were desperately unhappy that they would never see Jerusalem and its Temple again, they decided to carry the Ark with them. In fact, The Glory of Kings tells us that the Ark itself had decided to leave Jerusalem because the Jews had abandoned the faith that God had revealed to them.

The Tigray Orthodox catechetical tradition, which has been developing since the 15th century, is expressed through \u201cThe Five Pillars of the Mystery\u201d or \u201cAmstu Aemade Mistrate.\u201d The pillars include: The Holy Trinity Incarnation Baptism Eucharist. Resurrection 1. MYSTERY OF THE TRINITY:\u00a0 In this section the mystery of Unity and Trinity of the Triune God is described. The Holy Trinity is three in name, in person (Akal), in deed and one in essence, in divinity, in existence, in will. Three in name: Father, Son Holy Spirit. Three in deed: the Father is the begetter, the Son is begotten, and the Holy Spirit is the one who proceeds. Three is person: the Father has a perfect person, the Son has a perfect person, and the Holy Spirit has a perfect person. The Father is the heart, the Son is the word, and the Holy Spirit is the life (breath). The Father is the heart for Himself, and He is the heart for the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The Son is the word for Himself, and He is the word for the Father, and for the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the life (breath) for Himself, and He is the life (breath) for the Father and the Son. \u00a0Even though we say the Trinity are three in name, in deed and in person; the three are one in essence, in divinity, in existence and in will; we do not mean three Gods but one God. While the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit exist in their own perfect person, they are one in existence. (Abulidis, Faith of the Father&#8217;s Chap. 40 verse 4:6) 2. MYSTERY OF INCARNATION\u00a0 Mystery of Incarnation means the mystery of the descending of God the Son who is one of the Trinity from heaven and taking up flesh and rational soul from the Holy Virgin Mary. This is the mystery of God becoming man and man becoming God &#8220;The Word became flesh and dwelt among us&#8221;. (Jn. 1:14). \u00a03. MYSTERY OF BAPTISM\u00a0 Baptism is the sacrament given to all who believe in the Mystery of the Trinity and the Mystery of Incarnation for the remission of sin, to obtain adoption from the Triune God, to inherit the kingdom of God. It is called mystery, because, when the priest recites the prayer of baptism over the water and blesses it, it will be changed and become the water that flowed from the right side of our Lord Jesus Christ and one can receive the invisible grace of the Adopted Son hood of God (Jn. 19:34-35). 4. MYSTERY OF HOLY COMMUNION\u00a0 Mystery of the Holy Communion is a supreme act of life through which we can hold intimate communion with God and that which makes us one with God. &#8220;Verily, verily, I say unto you, except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you.&#8221; &#8220;Who so eat my flesh, and drink my blood will have eternal life. My flesh is meat in deed and my blood is drink indeed, for it is a real food. He\/she that eat my flesh, and drink my blood, dwell in me, and I in her\/him.&#8221; (Jn. 6:53-57). 5. MYSTERY OF THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD\u00a0 \u00a0Resurrection is the Mystery of life after death.
