Ethiopian New Year takes place in September around the 11th or 12th. It is Known as Enkutatash, which means “Gift of Jewels”. Ethiopian follow the Julian Calendar that contains of 13 months (12 months of 30 days and one month with just 5 days/6 in a leap year). The calendar is 7 years and 8 months behind the Western Gregorian calendar. The New Year signifies the end of the rainy season and the lush green landscape (from 2-3 months of heavy rain) is very picturesque dotted with yellow Meskel Flower and a great time to celebrate the new year harvest. Celebrations are both religious and secular including church services and festive family meals. Children gather yellow flowers, receive small gifts and sing.
