Office of the Holy Synod Patriarchate He'ad Office Addis Ababa Fax:- 251-111-552211 E-mail: [email protected] Celebration of Timket <Epiphany> Holiday in Ethiopia Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church started to celebrate this ancient holiday of Timket (Epiphany) based on .the teaching of the Apostles, her scholars and Canon, expressing it in her ow, language. lt began to be celebrated since the reign of Ethiopian Emperor Gebre Meskel around 6th Century A.D as national holiday, on fields and at river banks. Then St. Lalibela who constructed holy places, churches and unified state with priesthood (state and church) in 1140, proclaimed that this holiday should not be celebrated in scattered or decentralized way but all churches in the surrounding area should join together to go to the place of Timket (baptism) water and spend the night celebrating the holiday. Accordingly, in 1426 Emperor Zerayacob after looking at the program of the celebration prepared by· the scholars gave further instruction that the replica of the Arc of the . Covenant should march to the river on the Eve of Timket) on Tir 10 (January 19) but not to return Qn the same day and should walk on foot blessing the country. Based on the decision of the scholars of the church and the kings, the faithful on the eve of Timket (Epiphany) called 'Keter~· go to the chosen river side jointly clear the area where replica of the Arc of the Covenant rests and collect water to make a dike to create water for Baptism. Then they accompany the replica of the Arc of the covenant to the J prepared place singing, applauding and dancing (religious movement). From that time till ~oday Timket (Epiphany) is celebrated in this manner jointly on Tii' 10-11 (Jan. 19-20). Present day celebration of Timket <Epiphany> Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church being the oldest Apostolic and historical church with organizational structure consisting of SO dioceses in all corners of Ethiopia with thousands of priests, deaco,ns and parish churches has the biggest share (in membership) in the countries population as compared to other religious institutions. This structure and membershipreaches internationally almost to all other parts of the world·giving all kinds of the serviCes of the church including the celebration of Timket (Epiphany1 which makes it internationally famous. The origin of the colourful celebration of Timket {Epiph,any) emanates from the origin of Christianity in Ethiopia which goes back to the 1st Century A.D as mentioned in Acts of ' . the Apostles (chap.8:26-40) when the spirit of God instructed Apostle ·Philip, one of the 72 pupils and of the seven deacons, to go to Gaza and meet the Ethiopian Eunuch who was consequently bapti:zed by Philip. This way Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia, th~t is, through the Eunuch. H~rice it is believed that Christianity was accepted by the people around AAum and the surroundh'ig area, in Northern Ethiopia until the coming of Frumentius who later became the first bishop of Ethiopia. Then Christianity became the official and state reiigion of Ethiopia and its expansion continued. As it is known and believed, humankind is born in flesh from his mother and father and from God he shall be born in Spirit through baptism. ..,.-· ~~- ·· · ~11.'!.\~ Re~"u CLJ I CI H .

Also in order to be a Christian and live in it one has to be born again by baptism. The celebration of Timket {Epiphany) goes beyond its religious meaning by contributing to the growth of human culture, Art, fine Art, togetherness, mutual respect, tourist attraction and image creation etc. Timket {Epiphany) is celebrated allover Ethiopia accordi~g to the faith and dogrna of the church and to·the tradition, language and geographical location or situation. In Ethiopia major centers of celebration of Timket {Epiphany) are:- • .. in Addis Ababa - Jan Meda in Gondar - t~e swimming pool of Emperor Fasil in Axum - Myshum in Debre Roha St. Lalibela Vohanes (Johanes) Amba Getergie Bahre Timket, (pool of Timket) with great f$stivity The Legacies of Timket CEpiphanyl Celebration of Timket {Epiphany) by being together and by all people regardless of ethnic, language, nation, nationality differences. The holiday creates occasion for showing and learning different customs, culture, national costume, hand craft, Ethiopian poems, rhythm, music etc. Continuation of the celebration by the youth without distortion of faith, dignity and tradition. The growth of the holiday to be more and more glorious and bright from time to time without never being blurred or vague. Its attraction for international and local tourists. -. Being model or example for long walk (in mass) that results to physical strength, which also is example of prevalence of peace. Summary The celebration of Timket (Epiphany) Holiday which is related to the introduction of Christianity to Ethiopia and that began to be celebrated as official holiday since the reign of Emperor Gebre Meskel in the 6th Century have been celebrated by the church for the last 1500 years around Timket water (pool of Timket). In order to maintain the historical, cultural and religious value of Timket and pass it for the next generation, we genuinely request the recognition and registration of Timket (~piphany) by UNESCO among the intangible heritages of the world keeping its basic and historical significance, keep it for human generation and historiCal record. 2 1\ll "''Tfil +-'IOIJ'e :r-rc.rch ABBA MATTHIAS I Ch{l it:J') ~~4-l- Hl\.-l-f"ttf: Patriarch of Ethiopia, Archbishop of Axum, tt+ ~~ll Hllttll9D: Echegue of the See of St. Tekle Haimanot ali)Q~ &IP'tOl Thl\ '/~11'7'i-l- I Re~u CLT I CIH I ITH _,(J#.tu-)_:s2.q !2JJ_jj] Ref.N. 1 Le 1-3 AVR. 2018 I .,., 2 ~ ~ ~ J o cu- No ........... 0.-1&................. ..

  • AXUM – Welcoming and Engaging Visitors – Design Report
    Pedro Guedes (2010) AXUM – Welcoming and engaging visitors – Design report CONTENTS: Design report 1 Appendix – A 25 Further thoughts on Interpretation Centres Appendix – B 27 Axum signage and paving Presented to Tigray Government and tourism commission officials and stakeholders in Axum in November 2009. NATURE OF SUBMISSION: Design Research This Design report records a creative design approach together with the development of original ideas resulting in an integrated proposal for presenting Axum’s rich tangible and intangible heritage to visitors to this important World Heritage Town. This innovative proposal seeks to use local resources and skills to create a distinct and memorable experience for visitors to Axum. It relies on engaging members of the local community to manage and ‘own’ the various ‘attractions’ for visitors, hopefully keeping a substantial proportion of earnings from tourism in the local community. The proposal combines attitudes to Design with fresh approaches to curatorship that can be applied to other sites. In this study, propositions are tested in several schemes relating to the design of ‘Interpretation centres’ and ideas for exhibits that would bring them to life and engage visitors. ABSTRACT: Axum, in the highlands of Ethiopia was the centre of an important trading empire, controlling the Red Sea and channeling exotic African merchandise into markets of the East and West. In the fourth century (AD), it became one of the first states to adopt Christianity as a state religion. Axum became the major religious centre for the Ethiopian Coptic Church. Axum’s most spectacular archaeological remains are the large carved monoliths – stelae that are concentrated in the Stelae Park opposite the Cathedral precinct.

Calendar of Holidays September 2017 - September 2018 September 1 (Begins at sundown on August 31 st) [Moves] Eid al-Adha (Islam) Eid al-Adha is the Festival of Sacrifice held at the conclusion of the Hajj. Those who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals, such as sheep or cows. This practice recalls Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, in obedience to God, and commemorates God's forgiveness. September 1 Church year begins (Orthodox Christianity) This day marks the beginning of the Orthodox Christian liturgical calendar. September 8 Nativity of Mary (Christianity) This feast originates in fifth century Jerusalem and celebrates the birth of the Virgin Mary, mother of Jesus. This is recognized in the Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches. September 12 Ghambar Paitishem (Zoroastrianism) This is the third of the six Ghambar festivals in the Zoroastrian year. This five-day seasonal festival celebrates the creation of the earth, and the summer crop harvest. September 14 Holy Cross Day (Christianity) This day recognizes the Cross as a symbol of triumph in the Christian religion. The date traces back to the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on September 14, 335. By order of Saint Helena and her son, the first Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, the church was built over the ruins of the Crucifixion and Burial sites in Israel. According to some traditions, it was also at this site that Helena found the True Cross.

  • The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: a Critical Review on the Holistic Approach D
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 10 December 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202012.0260.v1 The Role of Community Radio for Integrated and Sustainable Development in Ethiopia: A Critical Review on the Holistic Approach Destaw Bayable Yemer Guna Tana Integrated Field Research & Development Center, Debre Tabor University, Ethiopia Email: [email protected] Abstract Community radios play a paramount role in the development of the community. Community radio stations have been highly engaged in addressing social, economic, cultural, educational, health, environmental, sanitation, and disaster issues effectively and strategically using local languages in context. Community radios are also used to express, and share indigenous views, thoughts, ideas, problems, and perspectives of local people. The purpose of this analysis is to explore the role of community radio for integrated and sustainable development in Ethiopia. It used a systematic narrative review. Nine research works and five assessments report were selected purposively and analyzed in a quantitative approach. Currently, in Ethiopia, there are 50 community radio stations that received broadcast licenses from Ethiopian Broadcast Authority with four types of licensing and broadcasting in 29 local languages. Community radio helps the community to identify their common goals, create holistic plans, monitor the progress of their developmental activities, and guide on sustainable development. It contributes to integrated and sustainable development in a collaborative and creative process that cultivates the social, economic, and political conditions needed for the community to succeed which aimed to improve and sustain the livelihoods of the community. However, the media can’t achieve its target goal to support the development activities and bring holistic development of the community.
