The Ethiopian calendar is quite unique compared to the Gregorian calendar commonly used in most parts of the world. It consists of 13 months, with 12 months having 30 days each and the 13th month having 5 or 6 days depending on whether it’s a leap year. The Ethiopian New Year falls on September 11th (or September 12th in a leap year) in the Gregorian calendar.
September 3 in the Ethiopian calendar falls on the 24th day of the month of Meskerem. This day holds special significance as it marks the countdown to the Ethiopian New Year. It is a time of anticipation and preparation for the festivities that will take place on September 11th.
