Walatta
Petros , 1592
to 1642,
Orthodox, Ethiopia Saint Walatta Petros is one of thirty women saints in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tawahedo Church and one of only six of these women saints with hagiographies. She was a religious and monastic leader who led a revolt against Roman Catholicism when the Jesuits persuaded King Susenyos (1572-1632) to proclaim Roman Catholicism the faith of the land.
The information in this particular biography comes from the recent
English translation and edition of her life (pub. 2015), based on twelve manuscripts of the hagiography. It corrects typical errors in previous works that were based on one single manuscript published in 1912.
