The Fire in Dorbo Meadow
Before dawn on the fourth and final day of the Mascal Ceremony in Ethiopia’s Gamo Highlands, a fire is lit in a sacred grove and elders gather to chant in the new year. Fundamentalist Protestants disrupted the closing ceremonies (see April 4 blog entry for details), as captured in this four-minute video clip.
