Holy water (Amharic: ፀበል) is a deeply rooted tenet in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, believed to be able to exorcise demons and cure sickness. The holy water can be poured onto people or consumed by drinking. Various monasteries are renowned for their holy water, where many Ethiopian Christians make pilgrimage to acquire the holy water. In addition, holy water is important at the Timkat (Epiphany) celebration, where priests set up holy water and bless it to baptize Christians for purposed of "purifying souls from sins".[1]
