Saint Days

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church observes numerous feast days, with every day of the month dedicated to a specific saint. Certain feast days for particular saints, celebrated once or twice a year, are known as Annual Feasts. During these occasions, the Tabot (Ark) is carried out in procession, drawing large gatherings of people who come together to honor the saint. 

Consider lighting a candle in honor of the saint to celebrate their memory. This act brings many blessings from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ 🕯️
