Happy Ethiopian New Year / Ethiopian Calendar

Happy Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash) - Melkam Adis Amet

It's fascinating to learn about the unique features of the Ethiopian calendar. The Gregorian calendar is indeed 7 years and 8 months ahead of the Ethiopian calendar, and the New Year typically falls on September 11, or September 12 in a leap year.

The Bidens macroptera, or Adey Abeba, is a beautiful symbol of the transition from the rainy season to summer and also represents the renewal associated with the new year. To name the years, the use of the four Gospels —Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in rotation every four years is a wonderful example of how traditions and religious elements are woven into the fabric of timekeeping.

May this new year bring you joy, prosperity, and many blessings!
