In the Ethiopian calendar, there are 12 months which all have thirty days. There are then five or six extra days (like leap days) which are a thirteenth month.

In Ethiopia, the year figure appears some seven years behind the rest of the world.

To indicate the year, followers of the Ethiopian and Eritrean churches today use the Incarnation Era, which dates from the Annunciation of the Incarnation of Jesus on 25 March AD 9 (Julian), as calculated by Annianus of Alexandria c. 400; thus, its first civil year began seven months earlier on 29 August AD 8.
