.#Ethiopia|ns are happily celebrating Orthodox Easter today while fellow Tigrayans are being massacred, rapped, starved to death & bombarded constantly. How they pretend to worship the mighty yet ignore/justify the suffering of his creatures is beyond baffling. #Hypocrites

Today, Ethiopia and other Orthodox Christian Churches celebrate Good Friday. The Orthodox Easter dates differ from the dates used by Western Churches. While most Christian churches changed to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the Orthodox Church chose to retain the Julian calendar.
