King Ezana was the king of the Axum Empire from 330-356 A.D. He was the first axumite ruler to convert to Christianity and conquered the kingdom of Nubia in about 350 A.D.
The ancient Kingdom of Axum, located in present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea, was predominantly Christian by the 4th century AD, following the conversion of King Ezana. This made Axum one of the first major empires to adopt Christianity as its state religion. Prior to this, the region practiced various indigenous religions and polytheism. Today, Ethiopia remains a significant center of Christianity, particularly Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity.
In the first century AD Eritrea and much of Ethiopia were the kingdom of Axum. Christianity was introduced by Saint Frumentius, a Syro-Phoenician Greek from Tyre. He was asked by kingOusanas to educate his son Ezana. Ezana converted to Christianity. Another Axumite king, Kaleb, was asked by the Roman Emperor Justin I to intervene in Yemen, where a Jewish king, Dhu Nuwas, was slaughtering Christians there. Kaleb invaded Yemen, which came under the Axumite kingdom.
