Zaga Christ (c. 1610 – April 22, 1638), also referred to as Ṣägga Krəstos[citation needed], Atənatewos,[1] and Lessana Krəstos[citation needed], was a seventeenth-century Ethiopian man who, after having been imprisoned, claimed to be the son of Emperor Yaˁəqob I of Ethiopia. [citation needed] Zaga Christ travelled extensively, living in Sudan, Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and later Italy. There he met the Pope and fell in love with the franciscan nun Caterina Massimi, [citation needed] who he corresponded with from the years of 1633 to 1637 with letters of love written in their own blood. [citation needed] Zaga Christ died the following year of pleurisy while in France,[1] where the letters were later discovered. [citation needed]
