Candace

The name of an Ethiopian queen, whose eunuch coming to Jerusalem to worship the Lord, was baptized by Philip the deacon, near Bethsura, in the way to Gaza, as he was returning to his own country, Acts viii, 27. The Ethiopia here mentioned was the isle or peninsula of Meroë to the south of Egypt, which, as Mr. Candace is rendered in the installed Bible Names resource as “who possesses contrition.” This unified study connects 7 installed resource categories without replacing their source records.
