Asmara, Eritrea; January 19, 2026. Timkat, Eritrea's vibrant celebration of Epiphany, commemorates the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. The sacred festival transforms Asmara into a spectacle of devotion as priests in ornate robes carry replicas of the Ark of the Covenant through the streets, followed by thousands of white-clad pilgrims singing and dancing in spiritual ecstasy.
