Epiphany
(Timket)
Timket,
feast of Epiphany is the greatest festival of the year falling on
the 19 January just two weeks after the Ethiopian Christmas. It is
actually a three-day affair beginning on the eve of Timket with
dramatic and colourful processions. The following morning the
great day itself, Christ's baptism in the
Jordan River
by John the Baptist is commemorated. Since October and the end of
the rains, the country has been drying up steadily. The sun blazes
down from a clear blue sky and the festival of Timket always takes
place in glorious weather.

will never forget Lalibela and the people we met there ...the sweet
children that adopted us and followed us all around.
We arrived in Lalibela on a Saturday and saw the long March to the
Market and it was so beautiful and also sad because we understood
how far the people had to work and carry. learn
