The first significant point in his life was when Tekle Haymanot, at the age of 30, travelled north to settle at the monastery of Iyasus Mo'a, who had only a few years before founded a monastery on an island in the middle of Lake Hayq in the district of Amba Sel (the present-day Amhara Region).
One day Takla was on the rope, and all of a sudden it broke.Takla prayed to God and God sent Archangel Michael and gave him six wings so he was able to go down the mountain.
St Takla departed on the 24th of Misra which is August 30th, 1711 A.D. Many miracles have occured through the prayers and intersessions of this great saint till this day.

Saint TaklaHaymanot the Ethiopian'''Saint TaklaHaymanot the Ethiopian''' (also known as St. Tekle Himanot) was a 7th century Ethiopian saint.
Takla was also gifted in the study of the Psalms and the Holy Bible.
Takla got down to a big desert, and he found There many saints who were used to fasting for five days and did not eat any food, but were used to eating from the desert plants and drinking from the dew drops on Saturdays and Sundays.
Takla focused his attention on the spiritual welfare of those around him.
After living some time at this remote monastery, an angel of the Lord appeared to St. Takla and told him to go down to the base of the mountain and dwell in a cave to be found there.

Most of northern Shewa, made up of the districts of Menz, Tegulet, Yifat, Minjar, Bulga is populated mostly by Christian Amhara, while southern and eastern Shewa have large Oromo and Muslim populations.
The great monastery of Debre Libanos, founded by Saint TaklaHaymanot, is located in the district of Selale in northern Shewa.

In the thirteenth century St. Takla Haimanot, Ethiopia's national saint, worked many miracles reforming the Church and re-establishing the dynasty of Solomon on the Ethiopian throne.
It was he who prayed so long in standing position that one leg fell from his body.
TaklaHaymanot's austerity of life, energy and ambition for God were, and are, a national inspiration to this very day.

Since Ras Seyoum of Tegray, an enemy who had by now submitted, could not be "denied a certain authority in northern Ethiopia," and since his province had been already allocated to Dajazmach Haile Sellase Gugsa, the Viceroy proposed placing him in Semien or Begemder with a mandate to "pacify and govern that not easy region."
The province of Gojam, Badoglio went on, had likewise formerly been ruled by King TaklaHaymanot, who had enjoyed friendly relations with the Italian travellers of his day.
