Ethiopia has a rich history that ties into all three of the major monotheistic religions: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church (The Tewado) is one of the oldest organized Christian Church in the world. Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia in the fourth century.
Islam was introduced in the 7th century and is now practiced by about one-third of Ethiopians.
