- Ashenda abstract "Ashenda or Shadey (Tigrinya: ኣሸንዳ, Amharic: ሻደይ) is a festival celebrated in August in the Ethiopian regions of Tigray and Northern Amhara and in neighbouring Eritrea. Ashenda marks the end of a two-week-long fast known as Filseta when adherents of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church/Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church gather to honour the Virgin Mary. Ashenda is a Tigrinya word meaning "tall green grass", estimated at around 80–90 cm minimum height. In the tradition of this religious festival, blades of grass are strewn on the floors of homes and shops as a kind of welcome mat. The festivity of Ashenda has no common name throughout the country. For instance,In Amhara region it is called Shaday. It is celebrated on August 16In Adigrat town it is called Mariya. It is celebrated August 15–17In Aksum town it is called Ayniwari. It is celebrated August 23–25The celebration of this festival is widespread across Tigray Region and parts of Amhara Region but has virtually diminished in Eritrea and is in fact lost in its cities. This cultural festivity was originated from two historical legends that occurred in different periods. These were;The death of Jehphttah's son by her father as an offer to the god of Israel in the Old Testament andThe death and reincarnation of Virgin Mary (mother of Jesus) in the New TestamentThe festival of Ashenda has cultural, religious and economic importance, and encourages industriousness.".
