For over 1600 years Ethiopians have worn neck crosses as a proud confession of their faith and have played a major role in Ethiopian religious, cultural and social life.  The cross has emerged as perhaps the country's most important, and most decorative, artistic emblem.  The Star of David is worn by the Falasha, a small group of Jewish settlers living near Gonder.
