EN ▾Sing the Liturgy Where the Story Began
Join the Ge'ez chant in the city of the Resurrection itself. Walk Holy Week station by station, and celebrate Fasika among your own community, in Jerusalem.
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles.
(Isaiah 40:31)
You have chanted the Ge'ez hymns your whole life, in a church far from here. This year, let the words carry you to the ground where they first became true.
The Ge'ez Liturgy in Jerusalem
The ancient chant of the Tewahedo Church has been sung in Jerusalem's Old City for generations. Your guide will bring you to where that same liturgy is kept today, so the words you know by heart meet the ground that gave rise to them.
Holy Week, Lived
- Palm Sunday on the Mount of Olives road
- The Holy Thursday washing of feet
- The Good Friday procession through the Old City
- The candlelit Easter Vigil
- The Fasika Resurrection feast, kept together
You do not watch these days from the outside. You take part in them, station by station, alongside your own community, in the place where they first happened.
He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. (Matthew 28:6)
The Fasika Pilgrimage, Open to Your Community
Built around the Tewahedo Holy Week calendar, and welcoming Eritrean Orthodox pilgrims and their families.
[Testimonial from a past Eritrean Orthodox pilgrim goes here, to be added once gathered.]
