Wolodo

Hello my dear Wolodo family and followers 🙏

Greetings to all of you wherever you are around the world.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and respect throughout this long journey. Your kindness, messages, comments, and love always give me strength and motivation to continue sharing important historical memories, cultural values, and meaningful stories with our community.

History is not only about the past — it is also about identity, memory, sacrifice, and preserving truth for future generations. Together, we continue this journey of awareness, unity, culture, and historical preservation.

I will continue, God willing, to share valuable historical materials, rare memories, important discussions, and meaningful content for our people and younger generations.

Wishing peace, health, wisdom, and success to all of you and your families.

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Respect and blessings 🙏

— Redie Mehari

Debresina Monastery — The Sacred Rock of Welensa
This is not only a rock.
This is not only a gathering.
This is memory.
This is faith.
This is history.
This is the spiritual heartbeat of generations.
Every year on June 28, tens of thousands of believers travel from different parts of Eritrea to the ancient monastery of St. Mary of Debresina.
Under the great rock known as “Welensa,” people gather with prayer, hope, tears, songs, and thanksgiving.
For me, Debresina is deeply personal.
After leaving government office in 1995 and beginning a new civilian life, I made a decision that remained part of my soul for many years — to celebrate the annual feast of St. Mary together with my family. For 12 consecutive years, we traveled to this holy place to pray, reflect, and reconnect with faith and community.
During difficult years, I learned something important:
Power may change. Positions may disappear. Life may rise and fall.
But faith remains with a human being forever.
Many people around me did not believe in God. Some even believed religion had no place in modern struggle and political life. But I always believed that a nation without spiritual values loses part of its soul.
I believe in God.
I believe in prayer.
And I believe one day, by God’s grace, I will once again walk toward Adi Tekelezan, Habromguaqua, Elabered and Debresina, stand beneath the great rock of Welensa, and celebrate St. Mary as in the old days.
Some places are never forgotten.
Some memories never die.
And some prayers continue living inside the heart for a lifetime.
