Thanks Gentlemen,

 

Timkat or Epiphany is a major festival in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's calendar. It is held over a 2 day period and it is celebrated througout the country with many processions led by priests. Gondar is probably one of the best places to witness the celebration as the next day after the blessing of the water, the people will jump into the pool. Fascinating spectacle, but very crowded. Thanks for the kind comments.
