Hi! I've recently been learning about various Christian denominations and their practices. Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity caught my eye with its rich traditions. Can anyone share some unique rituals or customs from this branch of Christianity? Appreciate any input!

Great question! I think the all-night prayer vigils are pretty unique. They seem deeply spiritual and moving though.

Fascinating topic! Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity has some really unique rituals. They include intricate church services with traditional chants, fasting periods like the Great Lent, and colorful Timkat (Epiphany) celebrations.
