Thirteen Months of Sunshine – About Us
Welcome to Thirteen Months of Sunshine, a new clothing brand with a mission to spread some sunshine in your life. As the name suggests, “Thirteen Months of Sunshine” relates to Ethiopia’s thirteen-month calendar, which consists of twelve months of thirty days and one final month of five days (six days when it’s in a leap year).
We want to take you all on a journey with us as we launch this clothing brand, and we hope to bring some Ethiopian sunshine into your home.
The History Behind Ethiopia’s Thirteen-Month Calendar
Ethiopia has long been known for its unique thirteen-month calendar. The nation’s calendar is based on a combination of the solar and lunar cycles, and it is one of the most complex systems used throughout Africa.
It has deep roots in Ethiopian culture and continues to be an essential part of their daily lives. So, how did this complicated system come to be? Let’s explore the history behind Ethiopia’s thirteen-month calendar.
The Backstory To The Ethiopian Calendar
The Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars are similar in the sense that they both use Jesus Christ’s birthday as the starting point to calculate the calendar. However, the actual calculation to determine this date is what causes so much difference between the two calendars. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church believes Jesus Christ was born in 7 BC, which is 5,500 years after God’s original promise to Adam and Eve.
Is The Calendar Still Used Today?
Despite all the changes that modern technology has brought about in Ethiopia over the past century, the traditional thirteen-month calendar still plays an essential role in everyday life there today.
It is used for everything from scheduling social events to tracking religious holidays; it even serves as a form of personal identification for many Ethiopians who use it to calculate their birthdays. In addition, many businesses still use it to track sales figures, payrolls, taxes, and other financial records. Ethiopians are proud to use their own calendar, language, and letters because they were one of the two countries that were not colonized.
If you travel to Ethiopia, familiarize yourself with the thirteen-month calendar so you can schedule your visit accordingly and understand how locals are living their lives. It is truly remarkable how this ancient system has survived through all these years!
