Description
Experience the Timket Festival in Ethiopia, celebrating the baptism of Jesus. Witness rituals, enjoy a cultural dinner, and immerse yourself in this vibrant expression of faith.
Celebrate the Timket (Epiphany) Festival, one of Ethiopia's most important and colorful religious events. Commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, this festival is a vibrant expression of faith, unity, and tradition within the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
Begin your day by attending the main Timket morning celebration, which starts with pre-sunrise rituals, including the Kidane (Morning Prayer) and the Kidasse (the divine clergy). Witness the blessing and sprinkling of blessed water on the assembled congregation in commemoration of Christ’s baptism.
Spend the better part of the day before the procession breaks up by returning the Tabots (replica of the Ark of the Covenant) to the respected churches in the afternoon. After spending Timket Holiday with some spiritual activities, enjoy a farewell dinner at a colorful Ethiopian cultural restaurant with music and dance.
