The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Archdiocese of New York and the Renovation and Development Committee of Holy Trinity Cathedral, invites you to help them raise funds for the restoration of Holy Trinity Cathedral in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Menbere Tsebaot (“Altar of Victory”) Cathedral – more commonly known as Holy Trinity Cathedral – in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is now eighty years old and in serious need of renovation. Built by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie to serve as the Orthodox metropolitan Cathedral of the City of Addis Ababa, it serves as a monument to those who gave their lives to preserve Ethiopia’s sovereignty during the Fascist occupation, and beyond. It is the final resting place of Emperor Haile Selassie I, his wife Empress Menen, many other members of the Ethiopian Imperial family, three patriarchs of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Abune Tekle Haimanot, Abune Merkorios and Abune Paulos, numerous patriot leaders of the occupation era, as well as other prominent members of Ethiopian civil and military society. The Cathedral is where Patriarchs of the Orthodox Church are enthroned, and where Bishops are consecrated. The Cathedral is notable not only as a major religious institution, but is a national institution, and a historic, cultural, and architectural landmark. Its preservation is of great importance to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, the City of Addis Ababa, and the Ethiopian nation.

The Cathedral administration has organized a Renovation and Development Committee and begun much-needed repairs. Over the past eight decades, extensive structural damage, water damage, and damage to the murals and stained-glass windows have been sustained; there is a need to replace the electrical system; and a need to renovate the crypt under the church where the tombs of the Imperial family are located. The renovation work is already underway at the hands of one of the most reputable construction firms in Ethiopia. However, it is not fully funded, and the Cathedral has launched a major fundraising campaign to meet the shortfall.

Every dollar you donate will go towards the Cathedral's renovation campaign and help to preserve this great church.

We are the devotees of Holy Trinity Cathedra and are organizing this fundraiser under the patronage of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Archdiocese of New York and the North East United States. The Archdiocese is a 501(c)3 registered in the State of New York. Your donations will be tax-deductible in the United States. All proceeds from this campaign will go directly from this fundraising account to the Cathedral renovation committee.
