Long before the religious upheavals of Europe, Emperor Zara Yaqob (r. 1434-1468) transformed Ethiopia through a sweeping religious reformation. This episode explores how this Solomonic ruler centralized the Tewahedo Church, enforced strict orthodoxy, and used the power of the Ark of the Covenant to unify a fractured kingdom. We delve into his controversial campaigns against pagan practices, his construction of Debre Berhan church after a miraculous light, and his brutal suppression of the Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jews) who resisted conversion. Zara Yaqob also compiled the Mashafa Berhan (Book of Light) and the Mashafa Milad (Book of the Nativity), theological texts that shaped Ethiopian Christianity for centuries. Yet his reign was marked by paranoia and harsh punishments, including the execution of his own wife and children on suspicion of witchcraft. Join Lucas and Luna as they unravel the legacy of a king who sought to make Ethiopia a pure Christian kingdom, leaving a complex imprint on faith, art, and identity. #ZaraYaqob #EthiopianOrthodox #Tewahedo #DebreBerhan #MashafaBerhan #MashafaMilad #BetäƎsraʾel #ArkOfTheCovenant #SolomonicDynasty #EthiopianHistory #FexingoHistory #EastAfrica #15thCentury #ReligiousReformation #Ge'ez #Aksum #Lalibela #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
