Genna is the name given to Christmas Day in Ethiopia which is celebrated on January 6. The greatest celebration takes place at the sanctuary of Lalibela, the Jerusalem of Ethiopia. There are many pilgrims from all over the country. Two Belgians, Frédéric and l'Olivier,  trek for 23 days, crossing the marvellous Simien mountain range to reach the sanctuary, a symbol of the country's spirituality.
