Overview

Timket (Ethiopian Epiphany) is one of Ethiopia’s most colorful and spiritually significant celebrations. The word Timket means “baptism” and commemorates the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the Baptist in the River Jordan.

Each year, the celebration brings communities together in a vibrant display of faith, tradition, music, colorful processions, and cultural heritage. The sacred Tabot replicas are carried in grand processions to nearby water sites, where prayers, blessings, and ceremonial baptisms take place.

Experience the unique atmosphere of Timket in some of Ethiopia’s most celebrated destinations, including Gondar, Lalibela, and Addis Ababa, where ancient traditions come alive amid spectacular celebrations.

Witness the faith. Feel the tradition. Experience the magic of Timket in Ethiopia.
