Buhe

History

Buhe is celebrated on Nehase 13 (August 19), when the church remembers the Transfiguration of Jesus on Mount Tabor. In the evening, boys go from house to house singing and calling "Hoya Hoye", and each household gives them a flat bread called buhe dabo. Bundles of dried stalks are lit as torches.
