Timkat

(重定向自Timket)
Crowds gather at the Fasilides' Bath in Gondar, Ethiopia, to celebrate Timkat - the Epiphany for the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.
A priest carrying a Tabot in a Timkat ceremony at Gondar, at which water will be blessed. He is assisted by a deacon holding a liturgical parasol.

Timkat (Amharic: ጥምቀት which means "baptism") (also spelled Timket, or Timqat) is the Ethiopian Orthodox celebration of Epiphany. It is celebrated on January 19 (or 20 on Leap Year), corresponding to the 10th day of Terr following the Ethiopian calendar. Timket celebrates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. This festival is best known for its ritual reenactment of baptism (similar to such reenactments performed by numerous Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land when they visit the Jordan); early European visitors confused the activities with the actual sacrament of baptism, and erroneously used this as one example of alleged religious error, since traditional Christians believe in "one baptism for the remission of sins" (Nicene Creed).
