Ethiopian Easter Mass

by Mandy Pol

Lasika (Easter) is celebrated after 55 days severe Lent fasting (Hudade or Abye Tsome). Orthodox Tewahedo Christians do not eat meat and diary products for the whole 55 days. During the fasting days, except Saturdays and Sundays, where a meal is allowed. In the afternoon, there is one of the most colorful annual Easter Market at Lalibela. And on Easter eve people go to church and celebrate with candles which are lit during a colorful Easter Mass service.
