HIH Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie Address for Ethiopian New Year 2019
Year of St. Luke the Evangelist.

To all honored and beloved children of Ethiopia around the world, I offer my congratulations on crossing over from the year of St. Mark the Evangelist 2018 to the year of St. Luke the Evangelist 2019. Just as we wished for many things during the last New Year holiday, Ethiopia and Ethiopians have many desires and wishes for this coming New Year as well. As we look back over the past year, we should take pleasure in our successes and learn from our failures. We should all look back at our times of joy and of sorrow, our times of labor and rest, our ambitions and our accomplishments, and be thankful to our Creator for all of them. The holiday of Enqutatash celebrates the return from Jerusalem of the great Makeda, Queen of Sheba, to her realm, when she was welcomed with a gift of jewels
from her nobles who were joyous upon her return. This New Year holiday and our unique calendar system of counting years, months, days, hours is part of the great patrimony that has been passed down from our ancestors. It is the special pride of our “Ethiopianess”.
We should thank our fathers and mothers, and above all our Creator for this great and special culture that they have bestowed upon us and for which we are famed.

As we pass from one year into the next, it has long been our tradition to contemplate what we have passed through and give thanks to God, and to receive the future with hope and
prayer. Above all we would do well to pray to the Almighty to grant peace to our country Ethiopia and our people. War, division and poverty have come hand in hand into the land of Ethiopia and caused us to shed tears and scatter into exile for many years now. We all
need to pray for this to end, and for God to restore His peace, love, unity and blessings to us. In these difficult days when the peace of the world is shaken, and the cost of living is particularly high, those of us who are able should come to the aid those who suffer, and those who are not able should help with our thoughts and prayers.

May this New Year be one of peace, health and renewal for our country Ethiopia and her children, and all the world. May Almighty God Bless the Year of St. Luke 2019, and may he cross us all over to the next year.

A 19th Century Ethiopian hairpin has returned to Ethiopia.

The imperial hairpin once belonged to Empress Tiruwork Wube, consort of Emperor Tewodros II.

It was looted after the Emperor’s defeat by the British at the Battle of Magdala in 1868.

The hairpin was seized alongside a number of other treasures and the Emperor’s son, Prince Alemayehu.

A lock of the Prince’s hair was returned in 2023.

His remains are buried at Windsor Castle near London, and recent requests to have his body returned have been turned down.

This is a truly extraordinary photograph. After 158 years, the gold hairpin of Empress Tiruwork Wube has returned home to Ethiopia. This is a profoundly powerful image that captures a historic moment and speaks volumes without words.

The Royal Ethiopian Trust is deeply honored to have played a role in the repatriation of this important cultural artifact. The hairpin will now be preserved and displayed at the National Museum of Ethiopia, where it can be experienced and appreciated by all. We thank eveyone involved for making this a success.

The Royal Ethiopian Trust is pleased to announce that it has facilitated the repatriation of a valuable piece of Ethiopia’s Imperial heritage. We are honored to announce the return of the gold hairpin of Empress Tiruwork Wube, consort of Emperor Tewodros II, and mother of Dejazmatch Alemayehu Tewodros. The hairpin was among the the Empress’ belongings when she died in 1868 as she accompanied her son into exile in British custody., and has been in foreig hands sice that time. This was achieved through the cooperation of Bertolami Fine Art and the generosity of donors. Our Patron, His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sahle-Selassie and board member Mr. Nicholas Melillo led this successful effort. It will be recalled that the Trust similarly facilitated the return of the Magdala Sheild one year ago.

The Royal Ethiopian Trust continues to work towards preserving Ethiopia’s ancient Imperial legacy.
