Ethiopian New Year HistoryThe Ethiopian New Year, also known as Enkutatash, is a significant cultural holiday celebrated annually by Ethiopians worldwide. Marking the end of the rainy season and the beginning of a new year, the celebration signifies renewed hope, happiness, and unity among families and communities. The Observance involves various activities, including the gathering of families and friends, traditional feasts, and the exchanging of gifts, symbolising goodwill and prosperity for the upcoming year. Tracing back to centuries-old traditions, the Ethiopian calendar is based on the ancient Egyptian and, later, the Coptic calendars. It is distinguished from the Gregorian calendar used in the United Kingdom, as it has 13 months, with 12 months comprising 30 days each and one intercalary month having five or six days. Important aspects of the Ethiopian New Year are not only festivities for Ethiopians, but beautiful exchange of cultures. This holiday offers non-Ethiopian people in the United Kingdom the opportunity to appreciate and respect diverse cultural customs, learn about the rich Ethiopian heritage, and celebrate the spirit of unity and togetherness. In the United Kingdom, Ethiopian communities living across the country celebrate the Ethiopian New Year by following their traditional customs and practices. Festivities include colourful processions, music, dancing, and the preparation of traditional Ethiopian dishes. These celebrations provide opportunities for British people to engage with and learn more about Ethiopian culture. Ethiopian New Year usually occurs on September 11th or 12th, depending on whether it is a leap year in the Ethiopian calendar, which is generally 7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar used within the United Kingdom.
