(happy easter)
Sunday I celebrated Easter for the second time this year, as is true for many holidays while being a non-Habesha living in Ethiopia. I spent the night at the orphanage to attend and photograph two services.
Saturday evening (Easter’s eve) was a special service for the children. The evening started with complete darkness, to represent Christ’s death. Then a giant ball of hay was lit on fire to show the power of Christ’s resurrection.
Saturday was also a baptism for some of the children. Here is my precious Leaha before she is baptized. Ohh I cannot explain the joy in my heart when I saw her in her beautiful ‘wedding dress-esk’ outfit.
Some of the young girls praising the Lord on Easter Sunday. Listening to all the children sing together is such a sweet sweet noise.
