Hymanot
Month of the Lion’s Seal
Hymanot 1st—30th | December 2nd—December 31st

This season is founded on the great Ethiopian saint Tekla Hymanot who restored the Solomonic dynasty to rule Ethiopia (according to the King’s list 1253 AD) by crowning Yekuno Amlak, King of kings. He also prophesied that this dynasty would rule the world. In this prophecy he mentioned the special king who through his anointing, would rule for 43 years.
H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie 1st, the last Emperor of Ethiopia, fulfilled this prophecy, ruling Ethiopia for 43 years 314 days.
