Hey Joel, watching from Asia. Orthodox is not only a religion; it's formed, ruled, and saved our beautiful country, Ethiopia for us. Who received religious immigrants in that era. May God bless you. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Orthodox also destroyed our country Ethiopia. denying Jesus's only way to the father. It also involves in a lot of denial of the truth and practices so many idolatry and these practices are harmful and I hope for one day Ethiopia turns to Jesus it's one and only savior and turns away from people and angel worship. Jesus is Lord.
@markshawn6967 come on, guys, I'm not insulting any religion; just speak the truth and history. You didn't know the history or didn't wanna speak the facts??? Dear, I highly recommend you learn the Orthodox and Ethiopian history. Even if you didn't learn the history subject in grades 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. That's why we call Orthodox mam. Dear have a wonderful day!!!
Those Ethiopian boys are very friendly and also speak good English. I am proud of them for showing our Ethiopian friendly aspect on cam as we Ethiopians are in general not camera friendly. ❤❤❤🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 Happy Xmas!
Do they know its Christmas they asked in Europe? We bloody invented it! We received Christianity 200 years before Rome. Ethiopia and Armenia are 2 countries that accepted Christianity as a state religion long before anyone else in the world. Orthodox Christianity is the oldest form of Christianity and nowhere in the world , not even Russia and Greece it is kept in the same form it did 1,000s of years ago like it ha been preserved in Ethiopia. Long live my beloved country. Long live my beautiful people. Happy Ethiopian Christmas to all my fellow Ethiopians. P.S, The lights symbolizes Jesus himself, the light of the world. Long before candles were invented to be lit on a birthday, what you hold,Twaf was what ancient people lit. Know your history, Ethiopia to Africa. No Christianity was not given to us by missionaries in exchange for food or cloth. We accepted it long before they did.
@@truthfactory8139 The Roman Church has been the seat of Christianity even as it operated under oppression, it remained the seat of authority, However 1. 🇦🇲 was the first to accept Christianity as a state religion 2. 🇪🇹 is the second to accept Christianity as a state religion. Rome will only accept Christianity as the state religion later under Constantine. So always get your history right before mouthing off

Thanks for sharing, your video makes me fell that “ I wish Iam there”. I know it’s long ceremony it took hours hours till midnight 00:00 but Thanks for sharing. I appreciated it ❤❤❤❤ I subscribed you already. See you in next video 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Joel I see you’re a humble and understanding brother. Most people are not unfriendly as they seem they just don’t understand English well to communicate so they might come off as rude but that’s not the case. Thank you for showing us Christmas celebration from ground zero. Merry Christmas
As an Ethiopian orthodox, I truly appreciate you for sharing this beautiful content. And also I like how you dressed as one of us and respect our tradition. May God bless you our Ugandan brother ❤
Oh my God Joel u killed me bro. The way u hold those candle made of beeswax was very funny but finally the guy told u to light only one. Another big public holiday is around the corner.
My brother Joel, thank you for sharing the blessings of my homeland of my country, I hope you become part of this religion. I wish you a Merry Christmas 🌲🙏🌲🌲🌲
I am so glad you were a part of this angelic program... If you don't mind me asking how did you feel spiritually? For me even just by watching I felt like I was singing with the angels, full of happiness.
Merry Ethiopian Christmas from the USA! My advice is to provide translations for your viewers, as explaining only what is happening might not be enough. Most of your subscribers are likely from your country and may not understand our language (Mezmur). You could consider muting the audio and explaining the events or the fasting season instead. or you marry an Ethiopian woman😅😅😅 I appreciate and Thank you very much for visiting our country and sharing the way we celebrate Ethiopian Christmas.
That tuaf/candles will be given to rural Churches where there is a shortage of candle except the one you use for yourself ,its not a fee to enter, there's no entrance fee for the house of God 😍
Brother Joel, Thanks for sharing. I wish I was there in person. The feeling and connection is massive. So good that you’re taking part in these great events and religious celebrations. The blessings are yours. With epiphany coming soon, you will see yet another wonderful celebration. Stay blessed my brother from my other African mother.
Much love and respect bro🙏🏽 I saw another good UA-camr with top blonde head dressed white pink strip with short, he’s good but he didn’t experienced like you and he was trying to meet someone may be you or some other UA-camr, I don’t know he was kind of lonely. You’re so friendly and you can simply live in Addis With no problem. Trust me even the language, it’s one year is good enough with good try and stay blessed brother‼️
This is a celebration of the Orthodox Tewahedo Christian faith, with a profoundly meaningful concept. As we know, this holiday honors the birth of Jesus Christ, making it a deeply spiritual occasion. The tradition emphasizes celebrating the eve with spiritual songs and prayers rather than music or unnecessary dancing. The Orthodox Tewahedo Church represents the true path to God, the Creator. Many other Christian denominations, such as Catholicism and Protestantism, originated from this faith. While they acknowledge its foundation, they have continued to diverge from their spiritual roots.
Thank you Joel!! I was hoping you also see the actual Mahlet by the priests and also the Liturgical procession so you know more deeply and understand and get baptized. I wish some one explain more clearly.
The little boy said Ethiopia is the New York of Africa, see what they teach them in Ethiopia and how they know so little. I think my Ethiopian brothers need to explore the rest of Africa too.
Hi there, just want to say that just because one kid spoke some nonsense it doesn't mean the entire country believes or says the same thing. One bad statement does not define the entire population. It is not wise to make a generalized opinion based on one person, as it will spread negativity. By the way, no one is teaching the population that Ethiopian is the New York of Africa
It isn't actually Christmas but its eve and that was aprogram called ye alafat zmare which was very beautiful.and on Christmas day u should go to lalibela it really is worth the trip.
