Maskal is an ancient seasonal rite, which has become an integral part of the Ethiopian Christian Calendar.This national holiday has been celebrated throughout Ethiopia for centuries and is one of the most important annual festivals, a feast commemorating the Finding of the True Cross. The origins of the celebration said to date back to the discovery of the Byzantine Queen of Helena of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Today Maskal is a religious and joyful annual social occasion that Christians throughout the country look forward to each year. Both women and men wear their national clothes, while youths boast and compete in fights with sticks. People bring the torches called Chibbo, to neighbourhood bonfire gatherings. The torchbearers chant as they circle the pyre, the Damera, (literally stack or pile of wooden torches), which are covered with cloth until a priest blesses it. The torchbearers then hurl their flames into the midst of the Dameras, while the gathering watches the blaze light up the night sky. On the following day people go to the bonfire and make the sign of the cross on their foreheads with the ash. Please come and join us to celebrate Maskal with demera (bone fire) and dinner on September 25, 2011 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at St. Gabriel Ethiopian Orthodox Church, located at 2216 goldsmith lane, Louisville KY 40218 We will be serving authentic Ethiopian Cuisine, doro wat (chicken), tibs (cubed beef), Kitfo (tartar), rice with chicken, gomen be siga (collard greens), atikilt (cabbages, potaotes and carrots), sambusa (crispy pastry stuffed with lentils) and salad.
