Ge’ez or Amharic would have been okay? You just needed an Ethiopian.
“Ge’ez or Amharic would have been okay? You just needed an Ethiopian.”
The Archdiocese has some Ethiopian priests. We have Ethiopian parishioners so the Our Father is recited in both Ge’ez and Amharic, among other languages, at every Liturgy. Nice languages. Personally, I think the Ethiopians are a bunch of Greeks who went south one winter and just stayed (They say just the opposite; that they came north to ski at Mount Olympus and fell in love with the olives). The ties between Greeks and Ethiopians, social, religious and family, are ancient and very strong.
