Ashendiye (it is also called Solel), a very popular girls festival, is celebrated in Amhara region in northern Ethiopia. It is also celebrated in the capital Addis Ababa.

Doing their hair in traditional style and dressed in traditional clothes, girls celebrate the festival with songs and dances.

The festival, which sounds like a weeklong, is celebrated following the feast of Buhe (bread festival) in the tradition of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Buhe is celebrated on August 19. For the followers of Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the day represents the Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus (Holly Savior) on Mount Tabor.

Culturally, it is celebrated in households with the baking of special bread (mulmul) and a small bonfire is organized in the premises of individual residence or a community one in the neighborhoods. Kids go house to house chanting “Buhena Buhebelu.” They are given either mulmul or coins if mulmul is not baked in the household.

Although the festival is very popular in northern Ethiopia, it is celebrated in other parts of the country. The celebration in Addis Ababa, on Thursday, was colorful.

Timket or Epiphany is an event which celebrated with great zeal, enthusiasm, and respect to commemorate the actual baptism of Jesus Christ in River Jordan.

The event attracts thousands of pilgrims from all around the world to the ancient land of churches at Lalibela and it's surroundings!

Contrary to what many believe, Timket is rather a festival of color, music, and religiosity all happening at once.

While priests don traditional Ethiopian clothes and ancient Ethiopian robes, the local men and women dress up in the best clothes they have which obviously are of the Ethiopian descent. Usually, white clothes are preferred with a hint or mix of other bright colors but everyone wears the best piece of clothing that is available to them during this time. As there is even a saying regarding the clothing which goes somewhat like “A dress that is not worn to Timket shall be torn to shred”.

On the final day of the event, all men and women except for priests wear clean white traditional Ethiopian robes and followed by a procession that is led by the priests who however are dressed in luxuriant fabrics with luxuriously big and embellished umbrellas. There is singing and dancing while carrying religiously symbolic ornaments such as the holy cross. During the parade, the priests spray over the holy water on the onlookers. When all this is going on, some elderly choose to stick to the traditional ceremonial services such as holding the fans while other recites verses from the bible.

"TIMKET" is the most important celebration of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and takes place every year on January 18th. Timket means Epiphany - a holy day associated by the Western Church with the manifestation of Christ to Magi. Epiphany has however an entirely different significance among Ethiopians - for whom it commemorates the Baptist of Jesus Christ. The use of sacred objects such as "Tabot" makes it unique here. The "Tabot" symbolizes the Ark of the Covenant - the casket in which the Bible says the Moses placed the two tables of stone on which the Ten Commandments had been inscribed. Wrapped in rich brocades, the "Tabot" of the Church is carried on the head priest. The Ceremonial umbrellas provide shade from the sunlight and symbolize the celestial spheres. Priests perform an elaborate dance using "Kebero" and "Sistrum" before the "Tabot".
