FAQ

What is the Ethiopic calendar?

It is an Alexandrian solar calendar used in Ethiopian tradition, with 12 months of 30 days and a short 13th month (Pagume).

Why can movable feast dates vary?

Movable observances depend on Pascha-cycle calculations and local church jurisdiction rules.

Why does one Ethiopic year span two Gregorian years?

The Ethiopic new year starts in September Gregorian, so a single Ethiopic year overlaps parts of two Gregorian years.
