About Ethiopian New Year - Enkutatash
Legend has it that King Solomon gave the Ethiopian Queen of Sheba hundreds of jewels during a state visit over 3,000 years ago. Upon her return to Ethiopia, yellow flowers began to bloom in the foothills surrounding Addis Adaba, signifying the end of a long drought and the start of new life within the country. Thus, Enkutatash was born!
Celebrations of the Ethiopian New Year usually last for a week and are focused primarily on family events which symbolize the coming of the new season of sunshine after months of rain.
Enkuan Aderesachihu (Happy New Year)!
