🌋 A long dormant volcano in Ethiopia erupted after nearly twelve thousand years, sending ash and sulfur dioxide plumes towards India and neighboring countries. This event has prompted concerns over air travel and atmospheric conditions in the region.
Joel 2 and Acts 2 say, “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood (lava), and fire and pillars of smoke.”

“Bow your heavens, O LORD, and come down! Touch the mountains so that they smoke! Flash forth the lightning and scatter them; send out your arrows and rout them!”

“The Day of the Lord Blow a trumpet in ZION; sound an alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,”
📦 The Ethiopic Book, 'Dersana Ṣeyon' (ድርሳነ፡ ጽዮን, ‘Homily [in honour] of Zion’) is the title of a Gǝʿǝz text mainly devoted to the glorification of the Ark of the Covenant and St. Mary.
The content locates The Ark of the Covenant at the Axum Ṣǝyon (Zion) cathedral, whereas Zion is used as a metaphor for the Virgin Mary. It seems plausible that the Dersana Ṣeyon was composed after the Kǝbrä nägäśt, sometime in the 15th century.
The Dersana Ṣeyon is read during the celebration of Maryam Ṣǝyon on 21 Ḫǝdar (= 30 November or 1 December; Feasts), the day on which the Ethiopian Orthodox (Täwaḥǝdo) Church (EOTC) celebrates the arrival of the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia. Formerly the priest read the Dersana Ṣeyon inside the mäqdäs; today the priest (or anyone devoted to Zion) reads it every morning, standing barefoot under a dǝbab in front of the ǝnda ṣǝllat. After the reading, laymen may kiss the manuscript to receive the blessing. The Dersana Ṣeyon is believed to help infertile women to bear fruit if they make a vow in front of the Ark (implying St. Mary) while carrying the Dersana Ṣeyon.

Chapter 2
Traditions on Zion and Axum
Dǝrsanä Ṣǝyon (DṢ) is a text which contains various matters. As a Dǝrsan, it basically glorifies and presents exegesis on the Ark of the Covenant. There are also some topics which the text deals with directly and there are a few subjects which are discussed in relation with DṢ for wider perspectives. Different traditions on ‘Zion’ exist in Ethiopian textual traditions, how royal coronation took place at Axum and list of Ethiopian monarchs who reigned in front of the Ark of Zion. With the regard to these, the important text known as Liber Axumae will be discussed in this chapter.
1 Zion
The term ጽዮን፡ (‘Zion’) is a Semitic word.1 Roberts (1973: 329–344) narrates the Davidic origin of Zion and he argues the tradition of Zion was established during the time of David but not in pre-Israel cult.2 It is associated with different toponyms, including Mount Sinai.3 The Lord ordered Moses to ascend the Mount, and then He gave him the two Tablets.4 It was there that Moses delivered the Ark of the Covenant. The following Täʾammǝrä Ṣǝyon of DṢ (EMML 8823) 5 states the fact as follows:
“ስምዑ፡ እነግረክሙ፡ ሕዝበ፡ ክርስቲያን፡ ጥንተ፡ ሙላዳ፡ ለጽዮን፡ ፀወንነ፡ አመ፡ ጾመ፡ ሙሴ፡ ፵፡ መዓልተ፡ ወ፵፡ ሌሊተ፡ በደብረ፡ ሲና። ወሀቦ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ጽላት፡ (sic) ዘዕብን፡ ዘበውስቴታ፡ ጽሑፍ፡ ዓሠርቱ፡ ቃላት፡”
40 chapter 2
Listen, I will tell you O! Christian People. The beginning of the generation of Zion, our shelter, [is] at the time when Moses was fasting for forty days and forty nights on Mount of Sinai. The Lord gave him a Tablet of stone inside which the Ten Words are inscribed.
When we talk about the Ark of the Covenant, indeed, we have to begin from Sinai for it is a place of immense importance.6 There we can find the bush, the flame, the Tablets, Moses and Lord God. For this reason, it is full of allegories. Grierson and Munro-Hay (1999: 263–264) summarize the Ethiopian commentary tradition as follows:
Moses saw Mary at Mount Sinai in the tree that burned without being consumed by fire. The tree was Mary, who carried the fire of Divinity within her body and was not burned by heat. When God gave Moses the Tablet of the Law on which the Ten commandments were written, and told him to make a golden Ark in which he could place the Tablet, the Ark was the image of Mary, and the Tablet the image of her womb. The Ten Commandments written on the tablets were the image of Her Son, who is The Word of the ather.
St. Mary, according to the above allegory, is foreshadowed in the Old Testament.
She is called the True Zion. Munro-Hay (2006: 47), after collecting the tradition at Axum on Zion, states ‘Zion represents many things, according to the dabtarat and priests of Axum—St. Mary, shelter, the land of Ethiopia, the land of King David’. We can add some more representations as well.
