Best Answer
AnswerChristianity came to Ethiopia during the fourth century, when two Christian merchants from Syria arrived the court of the Negus (king) of Aksum.

A 'foundation myth' in Ethiopia relates to the refuge afforded the companions of the Prophet Muhammad when they fled from persecution in Mecca before the Hegira. This act of hospitality established a cordiality which subsisted for many centuries between the Ethiopian Christians and Muslims.
