Fasika: Ethiopian Easter

Abebech shares with Chaplain Charlie Shin the importance of Fasika in her Ethiopian Orthodox Christian faith. The period of Lent leading up to Fasika is a time of fasting, reflection, and forgiveness helping Abebech to deepen her connection to God. Fasika is a sacred occasion at church with music and dancing until 3 a.m., when they return home to break their fast. Edit credit: Sean Collins
