Summary[edit]
| Description |
Afrikaans: Debre Damo is 'n prominente tafelberg of amba (d.i. bergvesting) noordoos van Aksoem, aan die noordgrens van Ethiopië. Die bergplato vorm 'n trapesium van 1 km by 400 meter, op 'n hoogte van 2 216 meter bo seespieël. Die antieke klooster op Debre Damo is die oudste staande kerkgebou in Ethiopië, en word beskou as die kern van die Ethiopiese kerk. Dit is net toeganklik vir mans, en is slegs bereikbaar deur met een van die gevlegte riemtoue teen die 15 meter-hoë krans uit te klim. Een van Ethiopië se nege Christenheiliges, Za-Mikael Aregawi, sou die klooster te Debre Damo in die 5de of 6de eeu gestig het. In oorlogstyd was dit 'n toevlug en vesting vir die noordelike aristokrate, en een van die monnikke sou instrumenteel wees in die omverwerping van die laaste Zagwe-koning. Op hul beurt het die kloosters baatgevind by gült, oftewel bruikleen van land, soos deur die aristokrate toegestaan.[1]
Čeština: Debre Damo (Tigraj, Etiopie)
English: Debre Damo in the Tigray Region of northern Ethiopia. The prominent mesa or amba (i.e. mountain fortress) is situated northeast of Aksum, and its plateau forms a trapezoïd of 1 km by 400 meters at an altitude of 2,216 m.a.s.l. The ancient monastery on Debre Damo is the oldest standing church in Ethiopia, and is seen as the centre of the Ethiopian church. It is only accessible to men, and can only be reached using one of the plaited leather ropes to scale the 15 meter high cliff. One of Ethiopia's Nine Saints, Za-Mikael Aregawi, would have established the monastery at Debre Damo in the 5th or 6th century. In wartime it served as a refuge for the northern aristocrats, and one of its monks would have been instrumental in the overthrow of the last Zagwe king. The monasteries in turn benefited from gült, or temporary land grants, which were bestowed by the aristocrats.[1]
