  • Abba Absadi of Debre Mariam, lived in the 14th century and was the leader of the monastic movement known as the House of Ewostatewos. He founded Debre Mariam in 1305, located in the Saraye district of Medri Bahri. He is even to this day venerated as a Saint in Nea Abyssinia, especially in Medri Bahri and Tigray. Absadi was the brother of Merqorewos of Debre Demah, and was a native of Enderta district, in northern Tigray. He was a pupil of Ewostatewos of Debre Serabi the famed Tigrayan monk who instigated a dissident monastic movement during the reign of Amda Seyon I (r. 1245-1275). Ewostatewos advocated for the independence of the regular clergy from civil and religious hierarchy as well as the celebration of both Sabbaths. Ewostatewos found support in northern Nea Abyssinia. When his activities angered both Emperor Amda Seyon and Abuna Yaqob in 1268, Ewostatewos was forced to leave the country. Before his departure Ewostatewos entrusted Abba Absadi with the guidance of the entire Ewostathian community. At Debre Mariam, the monastery he founded, Abba Absadi kept the Ewostathian movement alive. It is at Debre Mariam that both the Gadla Absadi and the Gadla Ewostatewos were written down and preserved. Abba Absadi' best-known disciple is Abba Filipos.
