About Debre Birhan

Debre Berhan previously spelled Debra-Berhan or Bernam is a metropolis and woreda in valuable Ethiopia. Located inside the Semien Shewa Zone of the Amhara Region, about one hundred twenty kilometers north east of Addis Ababa on the paved motorway to Dessie, the metropolis has a range and longitude of 9°f41′N 39°32′E and an elevation of 2,840 meters. Debre Berhan turned into based via Emperor Zara Yaqob, in response to a stunning light that was visible inside the sky on the time.

Believing this turned into a sign from God displaying his popularity of the dying by stoning of a group of heretics 38 days before, the emperor ordered a church built at the web site, and later constructed an extensive palace close by, and a 2nd church, committed to Saint Cyriacus. Zara Yaqob spent 12 of the closing 14 years of his life in Debre Berhan. Historian Richard Pankhurst gives the date of 1456 for the date of the founding of this church, presenting a possible argument that the light inside the sky became Halley's Comet, that can were in Shewa that year, despite the fact that the conventional dates do not coincide with the times that the comet was maximum visible.
