Or simply, Merry Christmas. There are different ways of saying Merry Christmas in Amharic.
Christmas is celebrated in Ethiopia today!
Below was in our weekly report. HOH is “House of Hope” which is the transition home the kids go to after they are referred to their parents. It’s one the places we can stay once we get our referral.
January 7, is Christmas Day in Ethiopia!!!! Today begins the celebration. There was a big party at the HOH. The Children, staff, and one of our adopting families, enjoyed the day which started with a “church/prayer service”, and singing at the HOH. There was also lots of food and fun to be had. A group on a mission trip visited the HOH giving out gifts to the children, reading stories, and just making this a wonderful day for the staff and children.
Some additional information that is useless to just about everyone but us… Legend has it that the King bearing frankincense was King Balthazar of Ethiopia.
