Feast of Archangel Gabriel in Ethiopia
The feast of the Archangel Gabriel is one of the most celebrated holidays in Ethiopia. This day is not a statutory holiday. People, despite the lack of a law, often get or take time off to go to church and pray through the intercession of St. Gabriel. This day always falls on November 19 according to the Ethiopian calendar, which is today. Many people also come to Awassa then, because it is the main church in the city, which is also its showcase.
