ቅድስት ሥላሴ
The Holy Trinity
God is one eternal being in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Father is the source of the Son and the Spirit, yet none comes before or after another, and the three always act together. God creates, sustains and guides all things.
አንድ አምላክ በሦስት አካል፤ አብ፣ ወልድና መንፈስ ቅዱስ። ሦስቱ አካላት በባሕርይና በሥልጣን አንድ ናቸው፤ ሁሉን ይፈጥራሉ፣ ይጠብቃሉ፣ ይመራሉም።

The Incarnation
God the Son took a real human nature from the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, so that God and man are one Person, without confusion or division. He suffered, died on the cross and rose again, conquering sin and death. This is the faith we call Tewahedo, “made one”.
ወልድ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ከቅድስት ድንግል ማርያም ሥጋን ነሣ፤ አምላክና ሰው ያለ መቀላቀልና ያለ መለያየት አንድ ሆነ። ስለ እኛ ተሰቀለ፣ ሞተ፣ ተነሣም፤ ኃጢአትንና ሞትን ድል አደረገ። ይህ ተዋሕዶ የምንለው እምነት ነው።

Holy Communion
In the Divine Liturgy the bread and wine, by the priest’s blessing, become the true Body and Blood of Christ, not mere symbols. Believers draw near to receive eternal life, prepared by repentance and a worthy life.
በቅዳሴ ጊዜ ኅብስቱና ወይኑ በካህኑ ጸሎት የክርስቶስ እውነተኛ ሥጋና ደም ይሆናሉ። ምእመናን በንስሐና በቅድስና ተዘጋጅተው ለዘለዓለም ሕይወት ይቀበላሉ።
