I Went to an Ethiopian Orthodox Wedding: Rich in Religion and Culture
In this video, I take you along with me to an Ethiopian wedding that beautifully blends rich religious traditions and vibrant cultural practices.
I also share my experience of learning about the deep significance behind these practices—from wearing the traditional white garments to bowing before entering the church. We took a moment to sit Biruk who graciously explained parts of the Bible and the profound role of faith in everyday life.
To fully capture the essence of this experience, I’ve included some photographs I took during the wedding, showcasing the beauty, joy, and spiritual depth of Ethiopian culture.
