| 概要 | The religious composition in Ethiopia reveals that Christians are the majority and Muslims have been increasing their share in recent years. Historically, Christianity (Ethiopian Orthodox) has been the major religion of the highlanders in the north, which was the political centre of the country. Islam has expanded mainly among the Oromo living in the lowlands. However, while this dichotomy illustrates the contrasting situation from a broad perspective, religious practices, which are an integral part of people's lives, are not clearly divided into Islam and Christianity. For instance, many Christians participate in the Hadra meeting, originally derived from Muslims, which is prevalent in the Oromo communities of the East Showa region. They chant the name of Allah and praise Muslim saints during the ritual. Therefore, this study focuses on the religious complexity of this ritual and how the complexity relates to ethnicity and local history. |
