Ethiopian Orthodox choir sing during the Meskel festival celebration Members of Ethiopian Orthodox choir sing during the Meskel festival celebration to commemorate the discovery of the true cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified, at Meskel square, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Sept. 26, 2022. 👉  The shadow of war hung over Ethiopia's Meskel festival in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, with high security, low turnout and Orthodox Christian priests calling for peace and forgiveness in their sermons. The event - usually a joyous affair where huge crowds gather around bonfires - marks the moment when the 4th century Roman Empress St Helena found Christ's cross in Jerusalem.

Parenting Tip: If you’re going to send your child to school with straight Domino’s, cut it up so it looks like some kind of focaccia or sumthin. It’s not day old pizza, it’s a rustic Italian side dish or whatnot. Straight out of nonna’s kitchen. This will throw the lunch supervisor off. Add some produce to make yourself look on top of things.

I will pair with a granola bar and a REUSABLE water bottle full of my city’s finest hydration. I feel like with the amount of real actual money I spend on Robux, they should send my kids lunch sometimes. Like chip in, scammers. Selling my baby jpgs smh. Anyway, free to pin.

Many good girls don’t know that a close male friend could be a potential husband Many often say they can’t marry their friends. "He’s just a friend" they say.

There are many good girls with good male friends in their lives but they prefer to keep them in the 'friend zone' even when it’s obvious that these guys like them. They ‘friend-zone’ these guys and keep praying that God sends them ‘Mr Right’. And while they are praying to God to send their life partners to them, He is waiting for them to recognise the one He positioned in their lives disguised as friends.  # Bewise
