(Urjii Online) – Oromos in the the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and other cities in Ontario and other parts of Canada warmly celebrated this year’sIrreecha Holiday yesterday, August 31, 2013, in the suburb of Whitby, a typical countryside environment that closely resembled that of Oromia. The 2013 Irreecha of Toronto has also attracted some Oromos from cities like Washington D.C. and New York from across the border in U.S.A. There were also visitors from Germany.
As usual, this year’s Irreecha celebration in Toronto included ceremonies, such as dhibayyuuor sacrifice, cleansing or cuphaahulluuqqoo anddarraa-gubaa or fireworks. Irreecha, which is often described by anthropologists as “the channel toWaaqa,” in all its senses, is equivalent of what the Westerners call and celebrate as “Thanks Giving.” Particularly, the “Dhibayyuu” part of the Irreechaceremony is the part that signifies the saying “thank you” to Waaqa aspect of the Holiday. Oromos of all religions, ages and genders gathered in Whitby to celebrate Irreecha.
