Twelve days later, on January 19, Ethiopians begin the three-day celebration called Timkat, which commemorates the baptism of Christ.
Ganna and Timkat are not occasions for giving gifts in Ethiopia. If a child receives any gift at all, it is usually a small gift of clothing. Religious observances, feasting, and games are the focus of the season. Sounds like a great way to celebrate!

Looks like you guys are doing your homework. Hope to learn more about Ethiopia and it's culture while we wait with you for your potential child (bundle of joy).

How excited we are for your adventure. We pray that the adoption process will run smoothly. Thanks for giving us the info you have about Ethopia. It does make us more aware of the situation and country. Love to you. Big Papa and Lil Mama.
