2024 Theme: Self Reliance & East Africa’s Jan 7 Christmas & Sept 11 New Year
Did you know? In the ancient lands of Eritrea and Ethiopia, the echoes of Christmas and the Nativity ring through the air not on December 25 but on January 7. A fascinating tradition woven by the threads of a divine culture and the Julian calendar, these nations embrace a unique rhythm in their celebration of the birth of Kiduse Ammanuel, The Christ.
While the majority of the world gathers around festive trees in late December, Eritreans and Ethiopians wait patiently for the 7th of January to unfurl the mystery of the season. Guided by the Julian calendar, which is 7 years behind the widely adopted Gregorian calendar, these celebrations shine a spotlight on the rich cultural tapestry woven by centuries of history, keeping the ancient royal and priestly celebrations.
