Kefale Alemu on Visiting the Sacred Debre Libanos Monastery (ደብረ ሊባኖስ ገዳም) in Ethiopia

This video presents the Sacred Debre Libanos Monastery (ደብረ ሊባኖስ ገዳም) in Ethiopia. The video film was recorded when I visited this sacred Monastery on 16 September 2019. Debre Libanos (Amharic: ደብረ ሊባኖስ) is a Monastery found in North Shoa, Ethiopia, lying North West of Addis Ababa in Tegulet Above River Jema and Ensaro. This sacred place was initially inhabited by a Monk called Aba Libanos in the 4th Century. 1500 Years a go Debre Libanos was called Debre Asebo. According to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Records Debre Libanos has been properly founded in the 13th century by Saint Tekle Haymanot where he prayed in a cave for 29 years. The Monastery complex sits on a terrace between a cliff and the gorge of the great River Jema, the biggest tributaries of the Abay River. None of the original buildings of Debre Libanos survive, although David Buxton suspected that there are interesting things still to be found among the neighboring cliffs. Current buildings include the church over Tekle Haymanot's tomb, which Emperor Haile Selassie constructed in 1961; a slightly older Church of the Cross, where Buxton was told a fragment of the True Cross is preserved; & five religious schools. The cave where Saint Tekle Haymanot Prayed & lived is in the nearby cliffs, contains a spring, whose water is holy (TSEBEL in Amharic) that can heal people from various illnesses. The original route to Debre Libanos was through a cleft in the cliffs that line the Eastern side of Abay. Today there is a 5 KM Road that leads from the main Addis Ababa–Debre Marqos highway (junction) to the Monastery. Debre Libanos suffered great destruction during the invasion of Ahmad Gragn when one of his followers, Ura'i Abu Bakr, set it on fire on 21 July 1531, despite the attempts of its community to ransom the church. Although the Ichege intervened to protect the Gambos during the reign of Sarsa Dengel the buildings were not completely rebuilt until after the visit of Emperor Iyasu the Great in 1699. In the reign of Emperor Fasilides, after invading Oromos had ravaged the Monastery's lands in Shewa the Emperor granted the Ichege his palace at Azazo (Gondar), where the various Ichege lived. Emperor Haile Selassie's interest in Debre Libanos dates to when he was governor of the district of Selale (prior to the Oromo Migration Selale was Called Graria). The Emperor notes in his autobiography that during the reconstruction of the church at Debre Libanos, an inscribed gold ring was found in the excavations, which he personally delivered to then Emperor Menelik II. Following the attempted assassination on his life on 19 February 1937 in Addis Ababa, the fascist Italian invader, Rodolfo Graziani believed the monastery's monks and novices were involved in the attack against the invading colonialist army, and unwilling to wait for the results of the official investigation, ordered Italian colonialist army to massacre the nuns and Monks of this Sacred Monastery. On 21 May of that Year, 297 monks and 23 laymen were killed. This inhuman action has been confirmed by Buxton when he visited Debre Libanos in the mid-1940s. Buxton also witnessed the remains of these innocent victims ("Here were innumerable bones and skulls – bones in bags and bones in boxes, bones lying in confused heaps, awaiting burial"); a cross-shaped tomb was afterwards built to contain their remains, which stands next to the parking lot. Saint, Abba Takla Haymanot has a very prominent position in the Christian Church. He drove out evil spirits, cast out demons, he converted kings. St.Takle was bestowed with many gifts from the Lord. He raised the dead & could foretell events and quietly tell true prophecies. He laboured among the hardest of tasks in the monasteries he dwelt with thanks giving. He escaped from all praise. He continually led a life of devoutness-fasting, praying, chanting & kneeling before the Lord Jesus Christ. One of the most famous of stories related to Saint TekleHaymanot is of his abiding in the Monastery of Abba Aragawi at the top of a very high, steep mountain. After living some time at this remote monastery, an angel of the Lord appeared to St. Takle & told him to go down to the base of the mountain and dwell in a cave to be found there. He bid the abbot of the monastery and the monks farewell, requesting their prayers and began his descent from the top of the towering mountain. As the custom, the monks tied the saint with a rope to aid in his descent from the peak of the mountain top. The rope broke suddenly and the monks feared the worst. Instantly and miraculously, six wings appeared from the Saint and flew him safely and swiftly to the base of the mountain. Due to this miracle St. Takla's icon features him with six beautiful white wings like the Cherubim. Sources: Gedle Tekle Haymanot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debre_L...
