ETHIOPIA-MILLENIUM-NEW YEAR'S-PRAYER 9

An Ethiopian man reads from a prayer book at a holy water site where men and women come to be cleansed and exorcised from their demons in the mountains surrounding Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa 12 September 2007. Ethiopians are celebrating the arrival of the third millennium more than seven years after it was celebrated in the west. Ethiopians proudly follow the Julian calendar, which puts the birth of Christ seven and a half years later than the more commonly followed Gregorian calendar.
