Ethiopia uses its own calendar of 13 months.
Twelve months have 30 days, the 13th month has 5 or 6 days.
They are 8 years behind us because of different calculations of the date of the Annunciation of Jesus (when the Angel told Mary that she would carry and give birth to Jesus.)
The first day of the year on the Ethiopian calendar is September 11th here.
Chronicles of our family as we researched adoption and our eyes were open to the needs of the children in Africa.
