Page 578 . The Ethiopian Church and the Sabbath . --Until rather recent years the Coptic Church of Ethiopia observed the seventh-day Sabbath . The Ethiopians also kept Sunday , the first day of the week , throughout their history as a Christian people . These days were marked by special services in the churches . The observance of the seventh-day Sabbath has , however , virtually ceased in modern Ethiopia .
