Sigd Festival

Sigd Festival

This is an archive of prayers, prayer-poems, and songs for the Sigd festival.

Sigd (ሰግድ, ‘Prostration’, Hebrew: סיגד‎, also romanized Sig’d), or Mehlella (Ge’ez: ምህልላ, lit. ‘Supplication’), also Amata Saww (ዐመተ ሰወ, ‘Grouping Day’) is one of the unique holidays of the Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) community, and is celebrated on the 29th of Marḥeshvan. Previously, Sigd was celebrated on the 29th of Kislev, and after a calendar reform in the mid-19th century it was moved to its present day, exactly 50 days after Yom Kippur.
