Journey to meet the inhabitants of Ethiopia: the 3 qualities that make us admire them and become attached to them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Must-see 1: Religious fervour and spirituality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the causes of this fervour is undoubtedly the ancient roots of the Ethiopian Christian Church, which is the religion with the largest number of followers. Indeed, these go back to the beginning of the 4th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Places of worship are numerous. The faithful crowd into the churches and pray outside when there is no room left inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believer or non-believer, the traveller is captivated and impressed by the moments of collective jubilation he can experience at the celebration of feasts such as MESKEL (end of September), LEDDET equivalent of CHRISTMAS (very early January) or TIMKAT equivalent of Epiphany (3th<\/sup> week of January).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participation of all is facilitated by the fact that songs, music and dances play an important role in the celebration of Ethiopian religious festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unavoidable monolithic churches of LALIBELA are one of the symbols of the spiritual dimension of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not forgetting the churches dug out of the rock of the Tigray cliffs... To reach them, you sometimes have to climb the rock faces and not be prone to vertigo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
