Best Answer

The umbrella in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church is used to signify the presence of The Holy Spirit among us. It is opened during

the Holy Liturgy and held by a church deacon over the head of the Priest as he reads the Holy Gospel from The Bible.

Colorful umbrellas are commonly used year round while a WHITE umbrella is reserved for Easter.
