A celestial calendar is based on astronomical events and celestial bodies, serving as a timekeeping system. It typically relies on the positions of the sun, moon, stars, and planets to determine months and years. Examples include the solar calendar, synchronized with the Earth's orbit around the sun, and the lunar calendar, aligning with the moon's phases. These calendars have been crucial throughout history for agricultural, religious, and cultural purposes, offering a connection between celestial patterns and earthly activities. The celestial calendar, commonly known as the Ethiopian calendar, is utilized in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It traces its origins to the ancient Coptic calendar of Egypt and incorporates elements from the Axumite calendars. This unique system consists of 13 months, with 12 months each having 30 days and a 13th month (Pagumē) containing either 5 or 6 days, depending on whether it's a leap year. The Ethiopian calendar is of cultural and religious significance, particularly in the observance of holidays and festivals. The start of the year in the Ethiopian calendar is usually on September 11 or 12, according to the Gregorian calendar.
