    It's interesting and probably compares more to the Patron Saint day in European communities than Christmas in a modern sense. How are Ethiopians about fireworks?

    Ummm, they're pretty? Lol. I actually know just slightly more than squat about real life Ethiopia.

    My thinking was that in my timeline, where Ethiopia developed a capitalist industrial economy, they would have had the same general trend toward secularizing and commercializing holidays as happened to the US in roughly the same time period. Thus a sacred religious procession eventually turns into an African Macy's Parade. Fireworks would be entirely likely I guess.
