Regional/Cultural Day

Timkat

The most dramatic Orthodox celebration of the year. Priests carry the tabot, the replica of the Ark of the Covenant, wrapped in rich cloth, through the streets in procession. Water is blessed. People are sprinkled. The faithful jump into pools and rivers. The clothes get ruined. The faith is renewed.
