Happy Timkat
Or should that be Timket? This year was definitely better than last year. See more pictures from this morning's celebrations on Jan Meda on Flickr.
Timket, by the way, is the biggest Ethiopian Orthodox christian Festival and marks the Epiphany - with a special focus today on Christ's baptism by John the Baptist. There are lots of Tabots - sacred representations of the Ark of the Covenant - and bottles of holy water.
