St. Frumentius: Strange Name, Great Story

When I saw the name of today's saint, I said to myself, "What a strange name - never heard of the man."

For those who like stories of danger and slim chances for survival, the story of St. Frumentius is for you. Somehow, the tragic turn of events in the life of young Frumentius (and his brother) opened the door for Faith to enter Ethiopia. To read the full story, click here.

Short on time? Just take a moment to pray:


Pray for us, dear Frumentius, that we may also “bloom where we are planted.” You were just a young boy in a strange and pagan land, but you made the best of the situation and brought truth and life to that desolate land and lost people. We pray for your intercession that we may bring the light of Christ with us wherever we go in the hope of inspiring others to follow Him. In His name we pray. Amen.
