Ethiopia really holds the old Julian timetable where Christmas falls on 7 January (of the Gregorian timetable.) People in towns and towns regularly tidy up in their best to celebrate.

The Ethiopian name given to Christmas is Ledet or Genna which comes from the word Gennana, implying "quick drawing closer" to impart the occurrence to the Lord and the freeing of humanity from offense.

Genna good times start quickly in the day, as early as 6:00am when people gather in sanctuaries for mass. For the pastorate it has begun a ton sooner, 43 days earlier, with the fasting time span preparing to Genna. This insightful fasting period is required from the congregation and is known as the speedy of the prophets. The speedy of Advent is done to decontaminate the body and soul fully expecting the day of the presentation of Christ. Everyone stays generally through the affection organization for up to three hours. The pastorate and Debtera (analysts educated in the custom and music of the gathering) lift their voices in tune and melody likewise as it has been for more than a 1,500 years when Ethiopia recognized Christianity. This old custom completions in the amazing procession of the Tabot (the Tabot is symbolic of the Ark of the Covenant) and proceeded with top of a pastor's head). The procession progresses on numerous occasions around the assemblage amidst ululation and ringing church tolls, surprising umbrellas and brilliant attire of the pastorate and a horde of Christians who follow the motorcade with lit candles.

From that point, people disperse to their homes to eat and the congregation break their fast. Food served at Christmas fuses Doro Wat and Injera, a lively chicken stew eaten with the sourdough hotcake like bread. Consistently, tej, a local wine-like drink delivered utilizing nectar, goes with the eating experience.

Christmas is subtly shared and celebrated in get-togethers of friends and family. Present giving is a minuscule piece of Christmas good times in Ethiopia. Simply little gifts are exchanged among friends and family at home. The enjoyment of giving and sharing, loosens up past severe feelings and spreads the spirit of peacefulness in the world and liberality to all mankind all through the world.
