Ethiopian festivals

Religious traditions are an indivisible part of the Ethiopian culture. The Orthodox Church
celebrates different festivals throughout the year: Christmas or Genna, the Epiphany or Timkat,
Easter or Fasika and the discovery of the True Cross or Meskel are massively celebrated with
soulful ceremonies. Being part of religious festivals is the best way to experience the Ethiopian
culture since these events play an important role in Ethiopians daily life. Thus, many of our
travellers try to schedule their trip to coincide with important festivals such as the Ethiopian
Christmas (Timkat) or the Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash). Most of the religious events in
Ethiopia are part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and even though they are widely celebrated
throughout the country, there are unique ceremonies held in important cities such as Timkat in
Gondar, Christmas in Lalibela and Meskel in Addis Ababa. Also, the Islamic holidays are
celebrated based on the lunar calendar and thus they fall at different dates each year. If you want
to witness the faith of Ethiopians during their festivities, we have listed the main religious events
with the possibility to be integrated into one of our itineraries.

Essay on ‘My Favorite Sport is Football’

My favourite game is football. It is a popularly played sport throughout the world! The best
teams from every country make it to the world cup, and people across the globe watch it with
interest. I love football because there is a sense of freedom in playing the game. It is physically
demanding as we have to run around the field to score a goal and simultaneously defend our side
of the goal post. I play football every day in school with my classmates. I also play football with
other children in my neighbourhood. It is a great way to make friends as you learn to play as a
team.
Many of us dream of becoming great footballers someday. I always work on my skills because
my coach says we can make it to the state or national level championships if we play well.
Football is just as much about strategy and teamwork as it is about physical endurance. We also
need great discipline and team cohesion to become a great football team.
