45:94 Pagina 593. Biserica din Etiopia Si Sabatul - Pana in anii din urma, Biserica Copta din Etiopia a pazit Sabatul zilei a saptea. Etiopienii au pazit de asemenea duminica, prima zi a saptamanii, de-a lungul istoriei lor ca popor crestin. Aceste zile erau marcate de slujbe deosebite in biserici. Pazirea Sabatului zilei a saptea a incetat in realitate in Etiopia de astazi.
