📖 Psalm 25:14

"The LORD confides in those who fear Him, and reveals His covenant to them."

🖼 Description:
Experience the sacred beauty of Kidane Mehret (ኪዳነ ምሕረት), a powerful visual expression of divine mercy and maternal intercession in Ethiopian Orthodox tradition. This radiant icon by K. Haile Maskel portrays the Holy Trinity crowning the Virgin Mary—“the two-fold Virgin, the God-bearer”—in a scene of celestial glory. Her presence symbolizes unceasing prayer, divine compassion, and spiritual advocacy.

According to Ethiopian tradition, Christ made a covenant with His mother, promising forgiveness to those who sincerely seek her intercession. This revered belief forms the heart of Kidane Mehret, emphasizing that if Christ honored His apostles, how much more will He listen to the prayers of His own mother on behalf of humanity.
