Venue: Neighborhoods across Ethiopia
Buhe is a cherished spiritual and cultural holiday marking the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ on Mount Tabor. Children celebrate the feast by roaming through neighborhoods, singing the traditional “Hoya Hoye” songs in praise of elders, and cracking braided whips, for which they receive bread or money as blessings. As bonfires light up the evening, people come together in jubilant celebrations filled with food, drinks, songs, and dance. Despite challenges posed by urbanization, efforts to rejuvenate the festival reflect its profound cultural significance.
