Common questions

What year is it in the Ethiopian calendar?
Today is Meskerem 24, 2019 E.C.. The Ethiopian year 2019 E.C. began on መስከረም 1, in September.
How do I convert an Ethiopian date to Gregorian by hand?
For the year, add 7 from መስከረም 1 until the Gregorian 31 December (late ታኅሣሥ), and add 8 from 1 January to the end of ጳጉሜን. The day shifts too: መስከረም 1 is 11 September, or 12 September in the year before a Gregorian leap year, so for an exact day use the converter above.
Why is the Ethiopian calendar 7 or 8 years behind?
Both calendars count from the birth of Christ, but the Ethiopian Orthodox Church follows an older calculation of that year, which lands about seven to eight years later than the one used in the West.
Why does the Ethiopian calendar have 13 months?
Twelve months of exactly 30 days make 360 days. The five or six days left over form a short thirteenth month, ጳጉሜን (Pagume), at the end of the year.
