"Armenia was actualy Christian long before Ethiopia I think"

I'm not sure when any Armenians accepted Christianity, but here's the information about Ethiopia:

The kingdom of Aksum officially adopted Christianity in the 4th century. But it wasn't before the 12th century (and up until the 15th) that Christianity spread, along with the Christian state, to the highlands of central Ethiopia. A remarkable collection of rock-hewn churches dates from this era. They were associated with monks, who were considered on a level with saints and whose lives were often recorded in writing. These monuments and manuscripts are still very important today as the living memory of Ethiopia's Christians.

This is just one of many other websites that provide information about Christianity in Ethiopia & tt has some interesting visuals.
