Our Holy father Abune Aregawi remembering the scriptures of the Holy Gospel He who loves father or mother more than Me...&amp; he who does not take his cross &amp; follow after Me is not worthy of Me,” Matt. 10:37-39, decided to flee from this world to serve God. At 14 years, he received the Eskima (monkhood). Abune Aregawi &amp; eight other Holy fathers departed to the land of Agazian (modern day Eritrea to Axum, Ethiopia).
&nbsp;
Arriving first in Eritrea, after learning the Agazian language (Ge’ez)the 9 saints later proceeded to Axum they departed different directions in the land to teach the word of God. After departing Axum our Holy Father was lead to a high mountain impossible to climb. Abune Aregawi knew this place was Holy, prayed earnestly &amp; God sent him St. Michael showing him a large serpent &amp; holding onto it ascended the mountain. After reaching the mountain top he said “Hallelujah to the Father, Hallelujah to the Son &amp; Hallelujah to the Holy Spirit” therefore the mountain was called Debre (Mt.) Halie-luya.


[caption id=attachment_3213 align=aligncenter width=202] Abune Aregawi climbing Debre Damo through the use of a snake led by the Archangel St. Michael.[/caption]

The emperor at the time built a way for pilgrims to go up &amp; down the mount, and Abune Aregawi ordered him to “Dahmimo” (destroy it), &amp; prophesied that no path should be built to climb the mountain. The monastery was named Mt./Debre Damo, to this day only a rope is used to climb the Holy Mountain symbolizing the serpent our holy father Abune Aregawi used to ascend &amp; descend the mountain.

As the Prophet Henok (Enoch), Gen. 5: 4 &amp; the Prophet Elias, 2 Kings 2:811, God through his grace hid Abune Aregawi from the face of death.
Selam leke Ze-mīkael bi-tsu' ante gebarie te'amir se'al be-intīane O aboye Aregawī
Salutation to Ze-Mikael righteous art thou doer of miracles, O our Father Aregawi intercede on our behalf.
