Timkat

Timkat, the Ethiopian cel­e­bra­tion of the Epiphany, was cel­e­brated early this week in Addis Ababa with huge crowds gath­er­ing at sev­eral sites around the city for reli­gious cer­e­monies, pro­ces­sions, and danc­ing. These pho­tos were taken at Jan Meda on Tues­day. Many thanks to Adane for guid­ing me through the crowd and insist­ing that I try the dances and the home brew.
