Frumentius' Living Love

Modern Wonders

St. Frumentius, known as Abba Salama, shines today through his intercession, inspiring us with his care. People say a mother in Addis Ababa once knelt before an icon of Abba Salama asking intercession to help with her family’s troubles. Their worries became eased when the icon began glowing softly, like a candle filling the room with peace.

Additionally, some believe a visitor at a Lake Tana monastery was healed and restored after asking for Abba Salama's intercession and giving thanks for his prayers. Yet another story claims that two children in a London church asked for Abba Salama's intercessions and found peace, reconciling as friends.

These stories show Abba Salama’s holy care, answering prayers through God’s grace. For Ethiopian children, he is their protector and intercessor; for Coptic children, he is a saint whose prayers reach across the world. His intercession reflects his love for God’s people, helping with needs big and small. Through his prayers, Abba Salama continues to intercede, remaining Ethiopia’s light and peace. As a beloved saint, he shows God’s love, guiding us today.
