Holidays

So we've been trying to keep up with the happenings, holidays and whatnot's going on in Ethiopia. Since a noticeable percentage of the country identify as Christian, a lot of the holidays are the same. The problem is that they don't observe them on the same day as the U.S.

Ethiopia is on a 13 month calendar rather than a 12. When you are only thinking about events one year at a time it's not too difficult to just think a month out of sync. When you think of history and even recent years, it's gets a little more complicated. But, that's a story for another day. :)

The next upcoming holiday in Ethiopia is Good Friday which will be observed there Friday, May 3, 2013. Wouldn't it be fun to celebrate Easter again this year?

Here's a link to the public holidays celebrated in Ethiopia
