A picture sent to me in one of those forwards from people I kinda know.
A girl Chibo’ying somewhere in Colorado for Meskel. Meskel or Demera is religious holiday commemorating the discovery of the True Cross by Queen Elen.
Published by September 29th, 2008 in African, Childhood and Social.The Meskel celebration includes the burning of a large bonfire, or Demera, based on the belief that Queen Eleni had a revelation in a dream. She was told that the she shall make a bonfire and that the smoke would show her where the true cross was buried. So she ordered the people of Jerusalem to bring wood and make a huge pile. After adding frankincense to it the bonfire was lit and the smoke rose high up to the sky and returned to the ground, exactly to the spot where the Cross had been buried.
A very captivating pic. The fact that a Colorado chick is doing that leap is just amazing. YOu would think folks in the U.S. would forget how to walk much less fly like Jordan.
BY the way, didn’t know the story behind Damera. Interesting.
In my home state of Colorado? wonder who it is in that pic
I second that question Fegul…interesting pic…
