Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Tourists from around the globe are stunned by the peculiar celebration of the Ethiopian epiphany (Timket).<\/p>\n

Some of the tourists, describe the outdoor festivity of Timket as uniquely impressive that tourist should visit.<\/p>\n

A tourist from the UK, Keith Bowers said that the celebration is quite remarkably inspiring with all the diverse demonstrations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen Timket a lot of times from the streets with the processions and I once came to Jan Meda (the place where epiphany is celebrated) the night before (ketera) with the entire crowd.<\/p>\n

This is the first time I have been in this compound so it is remarkable. I feel inspired with all the singing and the beautiful costumes that people are wearing, and the pool with the Holy water.<\/p>\n

So I feel very honored to be here,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian epiphany is impressive to watch and is quite a potential tourist attraction, Bowers said, and added \u201cbut it is not the only thing that Ethiopia can offer to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emily Goner, from USA who happened to be in Ethiopia due to work, said that the religious celebration is colorful and something that is not often seen in the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people want to come to Ethiopia and to be able to share something like this is amusing,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think showing the unity of the many people here is important. It is very important that Ethiopia is a united country and to see many different people here, different religion, and ethnic group coming together side by side,\u201d Goner elaborated.<\/p>\n

Different cultural celebrations of various ethnic groups are demonstrated, she stated, and expressed that the colorful traditional clothes are very peculiar.<\/p>\n
