German Catholic outlet katholisch.de revisited a story that never leaves Ethiopian religious imagination: the claim that the Ark of the Covenant rests in Axum, guarded by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Whether one treats the claim as faith, national myth, or contested archaeology, it shapes pilgrimage, identity, and how Ethiopia narrates continuity from antiquity through Christian kingdom to the present.
Culture-and-faith explainers belong in a Horn reference library. They help readers understand why Axum, Mary of Zion, and biblical symbolism still surface in politics, tourism, and diaspora life.
