Informations supplémentaires

The Christian festival of Epiphany (Timket) is a major religious holiday of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It commemorates Christ's Baptism by the Apostle John in the Jordan River. The Timket celebrations begin the evening of January 19 with the Ark of the Covenant of each Orthodox church being taken from the inner sanctuary of the church and solemnly processed to a central festival location. The Ark is covered from view with a thick cloth and is carried on the head of a designated churchman. The following day, January 20 is marked with colorful processions, ceremomies and speechs by important church officials. It concludes in the afternoon of the 20th with a joyful procession as the various Arks are returned to their respective churches.
