Ethiopian Meskel Festival Bonfire in Zarqa Night

by Iris Lindsey

A towering wooden cross dominates the center of a crowded street procession in Zarqa, burning with intense orange flames that cut through the heavy overcast winter sky. The silvery light of early winter evening reflects off the dark asphalt and illuminates the faces of participants dressed in traditional white garments. Smoke rises in thick, gray plumes against the low clouds, while rows of onlookers stand in quiet reverence along the roadside. The fire casts long, dancing shadows that stretch across the pavement and illuminate the intricate wooden lattice of the cross structure. At the edge of the frame, a single red scarf hangs from a metal railing, catching the firelight.
