(Melbourne, 5 October 2014) Traditionally, the Oromo practiced - TopicsExpress

(Melbourne, 5 October 2014) Traditionally, the Oromo practiced Irreechaa (Thanksgiving) ritual as a thanksgiving celebration twice a year (in autumn and spring) to praise Waaqa (God) for peace, health, fertility and abundance they were given with regards to the people, livestock, harvest and the entire Oromo land. Irreechaa is celebrated as a sign of reciprocating Waaqa in the form of providing praise for what they got in the past, and is also a forum of prayer for the future. In such rituals, the Oromo gather in places with symbolic meanings such as hilltops, river side and shades of big sacred trees. These physical landscapes are chosen for their representations in Oromo worldviews, for example, green is symbolized with fertility, peace, abundance and rain. Here are some photos of Irreechaa celebration with Hon Anthony Byrne MP Federal Member in Melbourne at Wilson, Botanical Gardens.
