Ethiopia lights up for Meskel Festival
Millions of Ethiopians gathered for Meskel, filling cities and communities with prayers, music, traditional ceremonies and towering bonfires. The Meskel Festival is an annual celebration of the discovery of the True Cross by the Roman Empress Saint Helena during the 4th Century. The event comes as renewed fighting in Tigray has spread to neighboring Amhara and Afar regions, casting a shadow over this year’s festivities. For many communities, the holiday remains a deeply rooted expression of faith, culture and renewal at the close of the rainy season. #PulseOfAfrica
