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.

I thought Epiphany was a Christianity-based celebration and Ethiopia was mostly Muslim. Interesting….Thanks, great photos.
