Ge'ez Rite Theophany hymn in English
Channel: H.E. Negash
Date: 2020-06-26

One of the most well-known Theophany hymns of the Ge'ez rite says, "menkir sibhate Timqetu." "Marvelous, is the glory of His baptism." For it to fit the melody smoother, I interpreted it as, "mind-boggling is His baptism." Gospel Singer Bethlehem Beqele sings this too. One of the funny unknown consequences of my interpretation is people reaching out to me years later telling me this hymn comes to mind every time they hear the word mind-boggling. That's the point. This is why we do it. This is the coed catechismal pedagogy of Holy Ephrem the Syrian.
