Welcome to Konjo Art, where we celebrate the sacred Filseta, the Fast of the Assumption of St. Mary, with our Filseta Bell Jar Candle.
This fragrant journey is adorned with illustrations depicting the miraculous Assumption of St. Mary. Filseta: A Sacred Tradition

Filseta is one of the seven canonized fasts of the Tewahdo church, observed in remembrance of the apostles' fast during the Assumption of Saint Maryam (Mary). This fast covers the period from the 1st to the 15th of Nehasie (August 7-22). "Filseta" literally means "movement" in the Ge’ez language and signifies St. Mary's assumption.
 
The Miraculous Assumption
When St. Mary departed from this world, the apostles tended her body, but some sought to prevent her burial. In fear of her body bringing news of another resurrection, God's angel took her to Heaven in glory. St. John the Apostle witnessed this event, and upon returning to the other apostles, they prayed and fasted for fifteen days. The Angels of God then brought St. Mary's body back to them, and she was buried on a Sunday. Three days later, on Tuesday, she rose from the dead, just as Christ had resurrected.
 
St. Thomas and the Garment
St. Thomas the Apostle, who was absent at the time, met St. Mary during her ascent to Heaven and received a garment (known as Megnez or Seben in Ge'ez) from her as a token of grace and ecstasy.
 
The Sacred Seben
The Seben, a piece of garment, holds special significance in Ethiopian Orthodox Church traditions. It reminds us of the Seben St. Thomas received from St. Mary.
