DESCRIPTION:St. Yared is one of the most renowned local saints of the Ethi
 opian Orthodox Church. He traditionally lived during the reign of the 16th
  century Ethiopian monarch Gäbrä Mäsqäl and is credited with the compo
 sition of numerous elements of Ethiopian Orthodox liturgical music and hym
 ns. The Betä Ǝsraʾel (Ethiopian Jews) identify this holy man as a membe
 r of the Betä Ǝsraʾel community. According to both the Ethiopian Orthod
 ox and the Betä Ǝsraʾel religious tradition\, he spent the last years o
 f his life in (or near) the Sǝmen Mountains. These mountains were\, betwe
 en the 15th and 17th centuries\, partially governed by Betä Ǝsraʾel ru
 lers\, and the site of wars waged between the Betä Ǝsraʾel and the Chri
 stian Ethiopian Solomonic kingdom. Various sites in these mountains are as
 sociated with St. Yared.\n\nThis lecture will examine and compare the Ethi
 opian Orthodox and Betä Ǝsraʾel religious traditions regarding St. Yare
 d. An attempt will be made to identify and pinpoint the various sites in t
 he Sǝmen Mountains dedicated to him\, and to determine the role of these 
 sites with regards to both religious communities. In addition it will show
 case how to do field reserach in times of a pandemic: Youtube\, Facebook\,
  and by e-mails.
