Introduction A resource hub for Maundy Thursday inside Holy Week

The public Ethiopian Orthodox source material presents Tselote Hamus as a Holy Week service centered on the covenant prayer, Eucharistic liturgy, and companion chant and sequence material. That makes it a strong next page for this site, even before full text extraction is complete.

This page organizes what is clearly surfaced in those sources now: the core church-use materials, the liturgical arc, the surrounding Holy Week sequence, and the best links to continue research and content expansion.

Sequence guides and chant references
Service Arc
1
Prayer of the Covenant

This is the clearest service aid named on the public source page, and it gives this observance its center of gravity.

2
Eucharistic liturgy

The source page pairs Tselote Hamus with the Anaphora of Saint Epiphanius, making that the strongest current anchor for a future full text page.

3
Transition deeper into Holy Week

The surrounding links move directly into the Holy Week sequence, St. Yared chant material, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday resources.

Holy Week Sequence
8
Companion Holy Week sections The surrounding source material lists these sections as connected study and service aids.
1 Gebre Himamat
2 Hosanna
3 Monday and Tuesday, Part 1
4 Monday and Tuesday, Part 2
5 Wednesday and Thursday
6 Friday
7 Saturday and Sunday, Part 1
8 Saturday and Sunday, Part 2
Note: The same source chain also points to St. Yared chant material across Holy Week, which is a strong future enrichment path for this page.
Historical Notes
Historical observance

The public source page preserves a note about Maundy Thursday and Holy Saturday observance in Addis Ababa during the 1950s.

Holy Trinity Cathedral reference

It also includes a historical note about Emperor Haile Selassie attending Maundy Thursday at Holy Trinity Cathedral.

Why this matters here

This gives the page room for both service flow and archival context, rather than limiting it to a single block of text.
