The Ethiopian Christmas, also known as "Genna" or "Timkat," is a religious holiday celebrated on January 7th. It marks the end of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's fasting period, known as "Fasika," which lasts for 43 days leading up to the holiday. On Genna, people attend church services and participate in a candlelit procession, known as "Meskel," which culminates in a celebration of the baptism of Jesus Christ in the Jordan River. The holiday is also marked by the sharing of traditional foods, such as injera and kitfo, and the singing of hymns and songs
