Timket in Gonder
Timket traces its roots back to biblical times. In the early days of Judaism, a sacred box overlaid with gold was kept in the most holy place in the Jewish temple. Known as the Ark of the Covenant, it represented the coming Messiah. The town center of Gondar is overwhelmed with people during the Timket celebration.
