celebration of the cross at the house of singer Helen Berhe

To praise the public occasion, numerous Ethiopians who live in the urban areas go back to the places where they grew up. The Demera is scorched as it becomes hazier. In view of the possibility that Sovereign Eleni, as she is known, had a disclosure in a fantasy, the Meskel festivity incorporates the copying of a sizable huge fire, or Demera. She was told to begin a huge fire, and the smoke would bring up the area of the Genuine Cross' grave. She then provided the request for a monstrous heap of wood to be worked by the residents of Jerusalem. The huge fire was lit after frankincense was added to it, and the smoke ascended high out of sight prior to getting back to the ground exactly where the Cross had been entombed. Neighborhood customs direct that this Demera-parade happens in the afternoon either the day preceding Meskel or on the genuine day. Before the party, daisies are organized on the kindling. Following the fire, the loyal accumulate the charcoal from the remains and use it to draw a cross on their temples.

The revelation of the Genuine Cross by the Roman Ruler Helena (Holy person Helena) in the fourth century is honored on the Christian blowout known as Meskel in the Ethiopian Customary and Eritrean Standard houses of worship. In the Ethiopian schedule, Meskel happens on the seventeenth of Meskerem (27 September, Gregorian schedule, or on 28 September in jump years).
