Meskel, Ethiopian Religious Celebration Meskel is one of the vibrantly celebrated religious festivals (especially in the Orthodox Church) in Ethiopia. It is celebrated by dancing, feasting, and lighting a massive bonfire well-known in Ethiopian tradition as "Damera". Meskel remembers the finding of the True Cross in the 4th when Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, discovered the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified. The feast is celebrated in Ethiopia on the 17th of September Ethiopian calendar (the 27th of September Gregorian calendar), 6 months after the finding of the True Cross. The celebration of Meskel implies the presence of the True Cross at mountain of Gishen Mariam monastery and also a sign of the events carried out by Empress Helena.
