Ethiopian Calendar

The Ethiopian calendar consists of 13 months, with 12 months comprising 30 days each and the 13th month consisting of 5 or 6 days, depending on whether it's a leap year or not. Ethiopia uses a 12-hour clock system with two sets that run from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn. The day begins at 6:00 AM and ends at 6:00 PM, with the period from sunrise to sunset being considered daytime. The calendar displays dates in both the Ethiopian and Gregorian systems and includes national holidays. It is also interactive and allows users to view future dates and navigate through past dates using the built-in navigation tools.
