By year 333 C.E., Orthodox churches were built and the Gospel was heard in Eritrea. The Orthodox Church grew tremendously in the high lands of Eritrea and the Good news spread very fast to other parts of Eritrea as well as in the neighboring country, Ethiopia. Soon Christianity was adopted by King Ezana as the official religion of the Kingdom of Axum, which was ruling Eritrea and, Tigray, northern part of Ethiopia.
Eritrea, located along the southwest coast of the Red Sea, was the site of the ancient Christian Kingdom of Axum . Eritrea has been attracted and notable for its architecture, hacing a written culture and maintaining a flourishing trade not only with the Axumite kingdom but also with the Middle East and the Far East as well. For hundreds of years, Eritrea was in control of a large area extending into the Arabian Peninsula across the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden was particularly important.
