Meskel holyday starts from 327 A.D. but the idea of MESKEL extends back to the day of Jesus Christ. This holyday is in the same day with queen Eleni of Ethiopia found the cross which Jesus Christ died upon during 327 A.D. When the cross went to Rome history told that the people there were celebrating the day. Meskel is not only about the cross it includes different other histories in the Bible. Now the cross is found in Gishen Mariam church, Ethiopia.
