Genna (Ethiopian Christmas)
Ethiopia
Y. Oliver

When and Why

? Ethiopian Christmas is always celebrated on January 7th
(according to the Gregorian calendar).

? Ethiopian Christmas is a celebration of Christ��s birth, also
known as Genna.

Customs

? Prior to Genna, people fast for up to 43 days.
? After dressing, everyone goes to church for an early morning
mass at as early as 4:00am.
? After the mass, people go home to feast.
? Also, around the time of Genna, men and boys play a game
that is also called genna. It is played kind of like hockey, and is
played with a curved stick and a round wooden ball.
? Ethiopian Christmas does not feature gifts.
? Also, they burn frankincense in recognition of one of the Three
Kings.

Food

? Among the traditional food eaten on Genna, they eat doro
wat (a traditional spicy stew that consists of chicken,
vegetables, and sometimes also egg), injera (a thin,
pancake-like sourdough bread used as an edible dish and
utensil), and tej (a honey wine).

Clothing

? During Genna, Ethiopians dress in white, and most wear
a traditional shamma, which is a thin white cotton wrap
with brightly colored stripes across the ends and it is
worn kind of like a toga. Urban Ethiopians might choose
to wear white Western clothes.

History

? Christianity (and Christmas) have been a part of Ethiopia since
around 330 A.D.
? As with Christmas around the world, Ethiopian Christmas
started out as a celebration of Jesus Christ��s birth, and
Ethiopian Christmas still is.
? The game genna is believed to have been played by shepherds
when they heard of Jesus��s birth.
? Orthodox Ethiopians believe that one of the Three Kings who
brought gifts to Jesus��s birth was Balthazar from Ethiopia. The
gift he is believed to have brought was frankincense. This is
why one of the customs for Genna is burning frankincense.

Polish Christmas traditions are deeply rooted in religious beliefs and superstitions. Some key traditions include keeping the home spotlessly clean before Christmas Eve, as the weather on Christmas is believed to predict the weather for the coming year. On Christmas Eve, families gather for a feast and exchange wishes using oplatek wafers. Unmarried women predict their future by interpreting signs like the direction a dog barks or the color of straw pulled from under the table.

Free from prison mean have a freedom and eternal lifeTImothy leonard

Shalom everyone, i m sharing the word of god with you all Spiritual Freedom: Spiritually, being "free from prison" refers to liberation from the bondage of sin. The Bible describes sin as a form of captivity that can imprison the soul. Jesus' sacrifice is seen as the key to unlocking this prison, offering forgiveness, healing, and freedom. Isaiah 61:1 (NIV): "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." John 8:36 (NIV): "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

Resistance to the Second Vatican Council: The Spread of Unauthorised Mass Cen...Cometan

��Are you in union with your bishop, the bishops of the whole Church and the Pope or are you not?�� The Catholic Bishops�� Conference of England and Wales posed this question in October 1976 to a small group of Roman Catholics organising ��Mass centres�� in their homes or renting village halls for priests of the Saint Pius V Association (SPVA) to celebrate Mass in the Tridentine Rite despite the Church��s abandonment of that rite following the Second Vatican Council in 1965. This lecture traces the history of ��Mass centres�� in Britain, from their origins in the work of the travelling priest Peter Morgan in southern England in 1971, their expansion northward in 1974 to their peak popularity from 1975 to 1978. Also discussed is how Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre amalgamated the SPVA into the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) in 1979, leading to many ��Mass centres�� being replaced by bona fide churches for exclusively celebrating the Tridentine Mass before Archbishop Lefebvre was excommunicated in 1988. Most SSPX churches in Britain today owe their origins to these early ��Mass centres�� that represented a grassroots movement of Catholics torn between adhering to the pre-conciliar liturgy and obeying the Pope. This lecture was first presented at UCLan's History Seminar Series on 26th February 2025 by invitation of Dr Billy Frank.

We find that the Peter who once shrank back and even denied Jesus is now confident, bold and impassioned. Peter lays out three proofs of Jesus Good News, the Gospel. He does so through citing eyewitness testimony of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and by citing prophetic texts that were fulfilled by Jesus. He shows us that the Gospel of Jesus is a proven fact!
