* '''Philip'''. The ''Acts of Apostles'' has the narrative of Philip converting to Christianity an Ethiopian treasurer who was visiting what is now Israel. There is some reason to believe Christianity may have first been introduced to Ethiopia with that event:
<blockquote>Then the angel of the Lord said to Philip, "'''Start out and go south to the road that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza.'''</blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>So he set out and was on his way when he caught sight of an Ethiopian. </blockquote>
Nikephoros I of Constantinople wrote:
<blockquote>Simon born in Cana of Galilee who for his fervent affection for his Master and great zeal that he showed by all means to the Gospel, was surnamed Zelotes, having received the Holy Ghost from above, travelled through Egypt, and Africa, then through Mauretania and all Libya, preaching the Gospel. And the same doctrine he taught to the Occidental Sea, and the Isles called Britanniae.[9]</blockquote>[9}
