to day write to you how to celeabert  christmas day in ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Christmas known as Ganna is celebrated on January 7th. This celebration takes place in ancient churches carved from solid volcanic rock and also in modern churches that are designed in three concentric circles. Men and boys sit separately from girls and women. Also the choir sings from the outside circle.
People receive candles as they enter the church. After lighting the candles everyone walks around the church three times, then stands throughout the mass, which may last up to three hours.
Food served at Christmas usually includes injera, a sourdough pancake like bread. Injera serves as both plate and fork. Doro wat, a spicy chicken stew might be the main meal. A piece of the injera is used to scoop up the wat. Baskets decorated beautifully are used to serve the wat.
Gift giving is a very small part of Christmas celebration.­­ Children usually receive very simple presents such as clothing.
In Ethiopia Christmas day is January 7, so on Christmas Eve the city is crowded with pilgrims from all parts of the country. They remain outdoors all night, praying and chanting. In the morning, a colorful procession makes its way to a nearby hilltop where a service is held. Three young men march at the head of the crowd, lashing whips from left to right to keep the people in line. Those who worship are fed with bread and wine that has been blessed by priests. After the service is over the rest of the day is spent dancing, playing sport and feasting.

Timket or Epiphany is a very important celebration of Ethiopian Orthodox Christian followers. It is the most colorful and greatest festival of the year, falling on 19January, just two weeks after Genna. It is actually a three day affair, beginning on the eve of Timkat with dramatic processions (Ketera), when the priests remove the tabots (replicas of the tablets which were written by finger of God and given to Moses) from each church and bless the water of the pool or river where the next day's celebration will take place.
The following morning, the great day itself, Christ's baptism in the River Jordan by John is commemorated­­. The water is blessed and sprinkled over everyone in a ceremony where the faithful renew their vows to the church. The third day is devoted to the archangel St. Michael, one of Ethiopia's most popular saints.
Everyone, men, women, and children appear splendid for the three day celebration.­­ Dressed in the dazzling white of the traditional dress, the locals provide a spectacular beauty to the colorful ceremony.
