The current wording says "[Meskel] celebrates the 4th Century discovery of the True Cross in Ethiopia". This implies the True Cross was found in Ethiopia, but I don't think this is the viewpoint of the Ethiopian Church (or any others). I think this is probably a misplaced modifier (i.e. Meskel is celebrated in Ethiopia) but I can find out for sure later. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
Re: "'Meskel' is Amharic for 'cross'." Is it actually an Amharic word, or does it go back further, perhaps to the Ge'ez language? The holiday is also celebrated in Eritrea, where it is called Meskel as well. Perhaps it is Amharic, but a shared word (similar to " Noel"). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:19, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
The Chibo article is of very low importance and I think it would be better if it was included in this article rather than having one of it's own. Pixelatedbro ( talk) 02:08, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
I am assuming that Queen Helena and Queen Eleni are one and the same, but if so this should be made explicit. PurpleChez ( talk) 14:41, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
