Information
on Ethiopia – Holidays
In Ethiopia holidays are occasions that are celebrated with
gusto. There are a total of 14 public holidays that are celebrated. The Ethiopian
calendar follows the Julian calendar system that was introduced into the
country from ancient Alexandria. And that is why common Christian holidays like
Christmas and Easter are celebrated on different dates than the Gregorian
calendar that most of the world uses.
This also means that the country is on average 7 to 8 years
behind the Gregorian calendar. Ethiopia entered the new millennium 8 years
after the rest of the world.
Coming back to the main Ethiopian holidays, they are:
January 7th – Ethiopian Christmas (Genna)
January 19th (20th on Leap Years),
Epiphany (Timket)
March 2nd, Victory at Adwa Day
April 13th, Ethiopian Good Friday (Siklet)
April 15th, Ethiopian Easter (Fasika)
May 1st International Labor Day
May 5th, Patriots’ Victory Day
May 28th, Overthrow of the Dergue (National Day)
August 19th, Eid Al Fitir
September 11th, Ethiopian New Year
September 27th, Meskel (Discovery of the True
Cross)
October 27th, Eid Al Adha
