Ethiopia's Timkat Festival celebrates the baptism of Jesus. It's one of the most important celebrations of Ethiopia's influential Orthodox Church. It's often observed by millions of faithful in colourful ceremonies across the country. This annual celebration is now being held for the first time since it was registered by UNESCO as world intangible cultural heritage. Here is CGTN's GIRUM CHALA with more.
