If you ask anyone living in Ethiopia for the year in which we live, will reply with confidence we live in the year 2008, it may make you this answer to doubt the mental capacity of a person, but in fact this person was not mistaken and it is not not mad, all in the matter is that the Ethiopians live according to their own calendar.
Most countries in the world follow the Gregorian calendar as the year consists of 12 months, and there is a simple-year consists of 365 days, and leap year consists of 366 days, the State of Ethiopia follow their own calendar the year consists of 13 months, and every month consists of 30 days, except last month, which consists of five days if the simple year and 6 days if leap years.
The Ethiopian calendar is a religious calendar church is subject to the supervision of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which believes that Jesus is born in Romania is the day that the Catholic Church believes that he was born in it, which no amount of 7 or 8 years between the Ethiopian calendar and the Gregorian calendar teams.
Year begins in the calendar of Ethiopia on 29 August Statistics for the year, or on 30 August for the year leap, which corresponds to 11 and 12 of September according to the Gregorian calendar, if calendar Ethiopian have caught by surprise and puzzlement So the question is how will you doing when they recognize the other calendars? Such as the Amazigh calendar, which states that we are in the year 2966 or calendar Syriac, which states that we are in the year 6766.
