December 29, 2016
Happy New Year!
Make time to visit the Land of Origins in 2017! Ethiopia will give you a wealth of discovery to stimulate your senses and satisfy your curiosity.
The Ethiopian Tourism Organization invites you to experience two upcoming unique century-old religious festivals with the warmest of welcomes.
Ethiopian Christmas (Genna) which will be celebrated on January 7th 2017, is unique and wondrous everywhere but particularly special at the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, where thousands of pilgrims come from all over the country to participate in the colorful midnight mass where priests chant and dance along to rhythmic drum beats.
