Great Lent (Hudade) is one of the seven obligatory fasts that we are commanded to observe in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In the year 2018 E.C. according to the Ethiopian calendar, it is observed from Yekatit 9 to Miazia 3, and it consists of eight weeks (55 days).
Great Lent commemorates the forty-day fast of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after His baptism. Following the example set by our Lord, the faithful observe this fast every year.
