Ethiopian Easter Fasting 2024. Until then, we wish all who are fasting a happy fasting and prayer season! This is also true for “fasika” (ethiopian easter) or “tinsae” (resurrection).

Orthodox christians begin fasting for easter with the start of great lent, which occurs 40 days before easter sunday, not including sundays. Many christians in ethiopia will fast for 55 days before easter, avoiding all meat and meat products during that time.
