Ethiopian New Year takes place in September, around the 11th or 12th. It is known as "Enkutatash,” which means Gift of Jewels. Ethiopians follow the Julian calendar, which consists of 13 months (12 months of 30 days and one month with 5/6 days in a leap year). The calendar is 7 years and 8 months behind the Gregorian calendar. Torches of dry wood are traditionally burned in front of houses on New Year’s Eve, and on New Year’s Day, girls dressed in new clothes go door to door singing songs. This is the day for feasting with family and friends. #Landoforigins #Stopoveraddis #Ethiopiannewyear #EthiopianHolidays #FlyEthiopian

We don't follow the Julian calendar, we follow our own Ethiopian calendar
