ETHIOPIAN CHRISTMAS

Millions of Ethiopian Orthodox faithful celebrate Christmas almost two weeks after much of the rest of the world, in keeping with the Julian calendar. Christianity arrived in Ethiopia in the 4th century AD through the Kingdom of Aksum, more than a thousand years before European colonisation. Because of that, it is not hindered by the hallmarks of white supremacy as the Christian teachings brought over during the colonial era that are practiced throughout much of Africa today.

Merry Christmas to all our Ethiopian brothers and sisters.
