This region was inhabited by cannibals who worshiped idols, very far from the Christian faith. However, the Apostle Matthew did not give up trying to convert them to the true faith. He founded a church here and built a temple, installing his companion Plato as bishop. Here in Ethiopia, Saint Matthew was executed by order of the Ethiopian prince Fulvian. Afterwards, the ruler greatly repented of his actions and was even baptized by Bishop Plato with the name Matthew.

Holy Apostle and Evangelist Matthew Levi, commemoration date: July 13, November 29

He was the brother of the Apostle James Alpheus. By the nature of his occupation, Matthew was a publican, i.e. collected a collection for Rome, because, as you know, the Jews were in the power of the Roman state. Matthias lived in Capernaum, when he heard the call of Christ to follow Him, he left everything and followed the Savior.

It was Matthew who invited the Teacher and His disciples to his house, who did not reject this invitation, but ate a meal with the publican’s acquaintances, who were just as sinful as he was. This fact greatly struck the scribes and Pharisees, because publicans were identified by everyone with the concept of greed and cruelty. They collected taxes for obvious benefit, and many people did not consider themselves capable of communicating with them. But the Lord, by his step, wanted to show everyone that He came to call not the righteous, but sinners. The Apostle Matthew repented of his sins; he distributed four times the amount to those whom he had robbed before. For his devotion and faith, he was honored to see the Passion of Christ on the Cross and His Ascension into heaven.

On the Day of Pentecost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit descended on him, and the apostle began preaching in Palestine. At the same time, in the Gospel, he captured all the earthly events of the life of Christ.

The preaching of the Apostle Matthew spread to Persia, Parthia, Lydia, and Syria. His last refuge was Ethiopia. This country was inhabited by cannibals with savage customs. The Apostle, with his words, converted many to Christ, built a temple, and Plato, a companion of St. Matthew, was appointed bishop in the city of Myrmena.
