ethiopian orthodox church baptism jesus timket

Timket Festival is one of the grandest occasions amongst Ethiopia’s Orthodox Christian community and is celebrated on January 19. It commemorates the baptism of Christ and is a period of religious sanctification and spiritual revival. During the festival, Ethiopians wear white cotton robes called ‘Shamma’, slaughter animals, brew a special beer, and bake bread. The festival also includes the ‘Tabot’, which is a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, and a reenactment of Jesus’ baptism. There is also a cultural dating day for young people to choose their spouses and a traditional horse race. Finally, efforts are being made to inscribe Timket at UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage.
