Fasika, or Easter, is a significant religious holiday celebrated by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians. It marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is observed after a 55-day fasting period known as Abiy Tsom. During this time, believers abstain from animal products, preparing for the joyous celebration. On Fasika, families gather for a festive meal that often includes traditional dishes like doro wat (spicy chicken stew) and injera (flatbread). The day is filled with church services, prayers, and communal activities, emphasizing themes of renewal and hope in the Christian faith.
