Most of the countries, especially Christian countries, are believed to be born in 1 AD. But according to the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia, Jesus Christ was born 7 years ago, ie in 7 BC. That is why his calendar is different from the rest of the world.

Unlike other countries, the date of reception of the New Year is also different in the Ethiopian calendar.

The new year is celebrated here on 11 September every year. This day is changed to 12 September in the leap year.

So when the Gregorian calendar is 12 o’clock in the afternoon, there are 6 pm in Ethiopia.
