Acts 8:26-40

Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:

“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?”[b] 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing.40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

Still no.

It wasn't. It was introduced to the Ethiopians by the Armenians.
Nah, not quite. Christianity came to Ethiopia through the Syrian Greeks, not the Armenians—though the Armenians and Ethiopians later became tight in faith and fellowship.

Further Explanation:

Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia in the 4th century CE, during the reign of King Ezana of Aksum. The key figure was a man named Frumentius, a Syrian Greek from Tyre (modern-day Lebanon). He and his brother were shipwrecked on the Red Sea coast and taken to Aksum as young men. Frumentius gained favor at the royal court and eventually tutored the prince—young Ezana. When Ezana became king, Frumentius encouraged him to convert to Christianity.

Frumentius went to Alexandria (Egypt), where St. Athanasius, the Patriarch of Alexandria, ordained him as the first Bishop of Aksum—Abba Selama, Kesate Birhan ("Father of Peace, Revealer of Light")—around 330 CE.

So, Ethiopia became one of the earliest Christian nations—before Rome made it official—and it's part of the Oriental Orthodox communion, which includes Armenia, but also Coptic Egypt, Syria, and Eritrea.

Armenians and Ethiopians have deep ties, both being ancient Christian nations outside the Western Church and sharing similar traditions in liturgy, monasticism, and resilience under persecution. But Armenians didn’t bring the faith—they just walked the path together once the journey began.
