TIMKAT

This feast that corresponds to the epiphany celebrates Christ's baptism in the Jordan. It lasts three days, during which the priests, dressed in their most beautiful attire, leave all the tabos (replica of the Tables of the Act regrouped in the Ark of Alliance) of the Churches and then solemnly wear them to a basin whose water will then be blessed. The procession, high in colour, takes place in the sound of the drums and the nuns are huge cross in the middle of a crowd of consecrated, white dressed for occasion. On the third day, at the end of the feast, the crowd will be blessed with the sacred water of the basin.
