These emperors could trace their ancestry back to Solomon and Sheba and were instrumental in making the cross a national symbol for Christianity. In the 15th Century, Emperor Zara Ya'Eqob of Ethiopia decreed that every Christian should wear a neck cross so that they could be recognized among the heathen masses. | |||||||
