The Ethiopian Bible, believed to be the world's first illustrated Christian Bible, was written on goat skin and created around the early 5th Century CE. Named after the monk Abba Garima, who is said to have copied the text in a single day with divine assistance, the Garima Gospels are beautifully illustrated and well-preserved. The Ethiopian Heritage Fund has contributed to conserving this remarkable relic, which has been kept in the Garima Monastery near Adwa in the Tigray region of Ethiopia ever since its creation.
