Abba Takle Haymanot is a revered figure in the Tewahedo Church. he performed several miracles from a young age. He was hailed as a god, but he humbly redirected praise to the One True God. He dedicated his life to God and spent his entire time in prayer till he lost his leg, penance and preaching the Word of God. Due to his ardent devotion, he received six wings by God like the angles as reward for his broken leg whereupon he stood too long on one foot for seven years.
