Hidar 12 | November 21
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church celebrates the Feast of St. Michael on the 12th day of each month, two of which are great annual feasts - on Hidar 12 (November 21) and Senie 12 (June 19). The word Michael means who is like God?'. Archangel Michael, whose clothes are lightning, and his lips are fire is our protector and watches over us day and night. He is an angel who has taken up his army and fought against the Devil, when Satan said, "I am the Creator". He also delivered Moses from Pharaoh, Joshua from Amalek, David from Goliath, Hezekiah from Sennacherib, Daniel from the power of the lions; St. Aphomia from the hand of Satan, and Bahrain from the hand of evil rich man.
Daniel 10: 13
“But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold. Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for 7 had been left alone there with the kings of Persia”
Hidar 21 | November 30
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrates the feast of St.Mary of Zion every year on Hidar 21 (November 30). The Feast of the Ark of the Covenant (locally known as Tabote Tsion) is held in commemoration of different historical events including the coming of the Ark of the Covenant to Ethiopia and the construction of the first church dedicated to St. Mary in Axum. The day also marks the destruction of Dagon by the power of the ark of God, as recorded in the Bible, and the return of the Arc to Israel after seven months of exile at the Dagon's house in Philistine.
Psalms 132:13
“For the LORD has chosen Zion; He chose her for His dwelling”
