[[Orthodoxy|Orthodox]] Christianity became the [[state religion]] of the [[Kingdom of Aksum]] during the fourth century CE under [[Ezana of Axum]], through the efforts of a Syrian Greek named [[Frumentius]], known to the churches' followers as ''Abune Selama, Kesatē Birhan'' "Father of Peace, Revealer of Light". As a youth, Frumentius had been shipwrecked with his brother Aedesius on the Eritrean coast. The brothers managed to be brought to the royal court, where they rose to positions of influence and converted Emperor Ezana to Christianity, causing him to be baptised. Ezana sent Frumentius to Alexandria to ask the Patriarch, [[Athanasius of Alexandria]], to appoint a bishop for Ethiopia. Athanasius appointed Frumentius himself, who returned to Ethiopia as Bishop with the name "Abune Selama".
