I celebrated an amazing Ethiopian Easter this weekend in Addis Ababa. I attended the midnight church services on Saturday night which lasts for over 3 hours. Hundreds of people stand, sit and sleep in and around the church and listen to the prayers and songs wearing all white - it’s the first time I slept at a church service. After that the family gathers in the house and eats doro wat...
