February 1555 CE
Two different groups of Jesuit missionaries arrive in Ethiopia during the reign of Emperor Geladewos.
The first arrives on February 7, 1555, to determine the state of the country and whether the Ethiopians would properly receive a Patriarch anointed by the Catholic church.
Gelawdewos receives them, but gives them no overt encouragement.
