The Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church is one of the oldest Christian denominations in the world, tracing its roots back to the 4th century. It is part of the larger Oriental Orthodox family and has a rich tradition that includes unique liturgical practices, music, and art. The church primarily uses the Ge'ez language in its services and has a distinct calendar that includes numerous fasting periods and feast days. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians celebrate many religious festivals, with Timkat (Epiphany) and Fasika (Easter) being among the most significant. The church emphasizes the importance of community, prayer, and the veneration of saints, particularly Saint Abbo and Saint George. Its followers often engage in vibrant cultural expressions, including traditional dances and colorful clothing during religious celebrations.
