Enkutatash is the first day of the New Year in Ethiopia and means Gift of Jewels. Ethiopia recognizes the Julian calendar in which the year is divided into 12 months of 30 days each, a thirteenth month of 5 days, and 6 leap days in a year. Because of this, their new year and new millennium (2000) was celebrated on September 12, 2007.
There was a celebration in Addis Ababa as well as in Washington D.C. where there is a large population of Ethiopians.
This video features the New Millenium song along with beautiful photos of Ethiopia's landscape, culture and people.
