Since the Ethiopian calendar is 3 years and 6 months behind, the New Year is celebrated in September and is currently the year 2014.


Addis Ababa, December 31, 2021, Thursday

The world is welcoming the new year 207 but there is no atmosphere of New Year celebration in Ethiopia of Africa as the international calendar of the world is changing but this year runs according to the calendar of Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, the New Year is celebrated on September 14, not January. Therefore, the year 2018 will have started when the new year will change in Ethiopia on September 15, 206. Ethiopia's New Year is celebrated after the rainy season when the sun's rays touch the land covered with greenery. The New Year also marks the end of the three-month rainy season. Due to the importance of coffee drinking in Ethiopia, the ritual of serving coffee lasts for hours. Children and young people get together and go to everyone's house and sing songs. In the same way they follow the Gregorian calendar in a slightly different way.


Thus Ethiopia is the only country whose Christian calendar is 3 years and 6 months behind the Christian calendar of the rest of the world. Surprisingly, the Ethiopian calendar has 12 months, not 12. The 18th month is called Pagume which is five or six days depending on the leap year. The reason for having this month is to cover any time left in the calculation. Thus the calendars are different in the world in terms of culture and culture but Ethiopia follows the Gregorian calendar in a slightly different way. The Hollywood movie imagines time travel ahead of time and ahead of time but this seems like a fact as the Ethiopian calendar goes backwards. Surprisingly, the time of sunrise and sunset here is also different from the rest of the world.

Ethiopian Orthodox Church believes that Jesus Christ was born in 6 BC


According to the information received, the Julian calendar was in circulation in the world before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the 19th century. The Catholic Church adopted the new calendar, while the Roman Church-influenced Ethiopia opposed it. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church believes that Jesus Christ was born in 6 BC and calculates the calendar accordingly. While the rest of the countries consider the birth of Jesus Christ as AD 1. Decades later the Gregorian calendar was gradually established in the Christian countries of the world while Ethiopia did not abandon its calendar according to its old beliefs and calculations. The current calendar was revised to ૫૨૪ es. The people of Ethiopia follow their own calendar. Care is also taken to ensure that foreign tourists are not disturbed by the calendar and its traditions.

Ethiopia's neighbor Eritrea also follows a 12-month calendar

Ethiopia has the earliest archaeological evidence of human habitation on earth. A 2.5 million year old hominid skeleton was found here. Next to Ethiopia is Eritrea with a population of 5 million. Eritrea was once part of Ethiopia, but its language, culture, and customs have led to decades of bloody conflict with people of Ethiopian descent. In 19th, Eritrea declared itself independent of Ethiopia. Eritrea, like Ethiopia, follows a 12-month calendar.
