Asra the God of Sun and of Sky, God of KUSH PHARAOH, gave birth to SETE the older son, ORA the younger son and a daughter named ASIS (ATETE OR ADBAR). The older SETE killed his younger brother ORA and ASIS (ATETE OR ADBAR) planted a tree (ODAA) for the memorial of her deceased brother ORA at the bank of Nile in Egypt where the murder had taken place. She requested her father who was the God of Sun to make peace among the families of SETE and ORA.
Then rains fell and the tree (ODAA) grew up. It stood as a symbol of peace and harmony in that land. Later, at the Stone Age, the tree that had been planted for the memorial of the killed, ORA was substituted by statue of stone that was erected 8000 years ago.
The festival for the ORA statue is celebrated in September of every year when Nile flows full in NUBIA and in BLACK EGYPT. In Ethiopia during the AXUMITE and PRE-AXUMITE period, a great festival has been held around the statue that was planted by ASIS (ATETE OR ADBAR) for the memorial of ORA, the son of Sun God, who risen up from death (ORA OMO or OR OMO) to establish peace between the two brothers. Then after the memorial heralded a performance to thank the god of Sun and of Sky with CHIBO.
The EYO KA ABEBAYE (the traditional and popular song performed at DEMERA events and new year in Ethiopia) was being performed since then. “KA” is the first name of God. The name of God that our KUSH Fathers have inherited to us before the old period of Christianity and Islam is “KA”. Since then, therefore, especially the OROMO, GURAGIE and the SOUTHERN people of Ethiopia have been calling God as “WAKA or WAAQA”. When we song EYOKA or EYOHA in New Year, we are praising “KA”, the God.
