Among Ethiopian Orthodox faithful, St. Mena is cherished as a protector who intercedes through Christ. One tale says that during a challenging time, an icon of St. Mena, with his kind eyes, appeared to weep through God’s grace, touching the hearts of children and families. They sought Mena’s intercession for peace and guidance, and one tale says their worries lifted—hearts were comforted, and hope returned. This icon became a treasure for prayers, with children saying, “God comforts us through Mena’s intercession!”
This miracle shows Mena’s intercession, through Christ, guiding Ethiopia’s faithful like a light in dark times. One tale says a lost traveler in Ethiopia's Tigray hills called for St. Mena's intercession and a bright star appeared, leading him to safety. For kids, these stories teach that through Mena’s intercession, Christ brings comfort and guidance, turning prayers into trust that He is always near.
