Tour Overview
Timket Festival
Timket is the greatest festival of the Ethiopian year, falling just 2 weeks after Ethiopian Christmas.

Ketera, the Eve of Timket is when the Priests bring out the Tabots – replicas of the 2 tablets of laws received by Moses, which are normally housed inside the altar symbolizing the Ark of the Covenant. Priests bless the water of the pool or river where the next day’s celebration will take place.
