Saint of the Week: Moses of Ethiopia 
Thursday, July 2, 2026
Moses of Ethiopia, commonly called Moses the Black in early Christian literature, was a fourth-century monk. He was a fearsome raider and thief until a dramatic change of heart. While fleeing prosecution, he took shelter at a monastery. Converted by their kindness, he joined them, becoming a legendary ascetic. One fateful day, much later in life, he was warned that an armed band was approaching. "I have been waiting for this day to come for a long time," Moses said, refusing to flee. He and six of his brothers were martyred.
