2.9 Ethiopia – Saint Yared

Today we wrap up our series on Ethiopia. We will go back in history 1500 years to the life of St. Yared of Ethiopia. Yared is one of the most influential Ethiopian saints within the Ethiopian Orthodox church, and all Ethiopian churches. He created much of the unique liturgy and music that still defines the church today. Lutherans have Bach, and Anglicans have Handel, but the Ethiopian church has Saint Yared.
