Experience the Buhe Festival 2025 at CMC St. Michael Church, Addis Ababa, where faith, tradition, and community unite in a night of joy.
Buhe, celebrated on August 19 (13 Nehase in the Ethiopian calendar), commemorates the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor. It’s one of Ethiopia’s most vibrant Orthodox traditions — marked by children singing “Hoya Hoye”, families baking Mulmul bread, and communities lighting chibo torches that symbolize the divine light of Christ.
In this video, we join thousands of people at CMC St. Michael Church, following the cherished customs:
✨ Buying our own chibo bundles
✨ Singing psalms and Buhe songs together with the crowd
✨ Watching the flames rise into the night sky as the celebration reaches its peak
The atmosphere is spiritual, cultural, and deeply moving — a true reflection of Ethiopia’s living heritage.
