Coptic Customs
Rule in'Ethiopia
Ethiopia-is a land which
has been Christian for some
1600 years. The Ethiopian
Orthodox Coptic Church,
which has much in common
with other Eastern Rite
churches, such as the Greek
and the Russian, is the es-
tablished church of the na-
tion, In its interesting and
unusual customs, which are
a blend of Christian, Heb-
raic, and pagan traditions,
there are many unusual'
rites and ceremonies, cen-
tering on the important
Church festivals of Christ-
mas and Epiphany.
Today, in Ethiopia, cus-
toms of the Western cele-
bration of Christmas are
beginning to find popular-
ity, so that Santa' Claus is
becoming a familiar figure,
Christmas trees are being
set up and decorated, and gifts are being exchanged.
All this is done, however,
according to the dates of
the old Julian calendar,
which is the one followed
in Ethiopia, so that they
,celebrate Christmas on
January 7th,
In this connection, it is
interesting to know that the
year in Ethiopia consists of
13 months, starting on Sep
tember•11, when spring be-
gins. There are 12 months
of 30 days each, plus a short
month of 5 days; known as
Pagumen. This comes just
before the New Year.
However westernized the
Ethibian Christmas may
become:the people are' not
likely to change their ob-
servance of important reli--
gious festivald. In the month
of January, known as Tirr,
the Coptic Church observes
4 festivals — the first being
Christmas, but even 'more
'important is Epiphany, or
Timket. This has, as its
main feature, the blessing of
water and the sprinkling of
it, on the assembled faith-
ful — a re-enactment of
Christ's baptism by John
the Baptist. On the previous
day, all is made ready. Bells
ring, trumpets blow, and
drums roll as the priests
carry the sacred "Tabot",
out from the church to a
special carpeted tent, where
it remains overnight until
time for the priests to bring
it forth for the ceremony.
The "Tabot" is the most
sacred object in the chur&i.
It represents the Ark of the
Covenant, which, according
to tradition, was brought to
Ethiopia from Jerusalem by
Menelik, son of King Solo-
mon and the Queen of She-
ba. The Tabot is really a
portable altar holding the
sacred vessels fnr celebrat-
ing the Eucharist, and is al-
ways carried concealed un-
der crimson cloths, oil, the
hOlids of the priests.
Editor's Quote Book
One of the reasons mature
people stop learning is that
they become less and less will-
ing to risk failure.
