Description
Aboard canoes, motorboats and kayaks fashioned from papyrus stems, the faithful converge on a lake in central Ethiopia to celebrate the Orthodox holiday of Epiphany, known locally as "Timkat". Lake Ziway is at the heart of annual celebrations to mark the baptism of Christ, the holiest day in the Ethiopian Orthodox calendar. In recent years, the festival has drawn a large number of worshippers, which has authorities trying to make it into a tourism destination as well. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
