About these calendars
Gregorian
The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used civil calendar in the world. Introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 as a reform of the Julian calendar, it corrected the drift in the date of Easter by refining the leap year rule. It is a solar calendar with 365 days in a common year and 366 in a leap year.

Ethiopian (Ge'ez)
The Ethiopian calendar is the principal calendar used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It has 12 months of 30 days each plus a 13th month of 5 or 6 days. The calendar is approximately 7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar because it calculates the Annunciation of Jesus differently.
Used in: Ethiopia, Eritrea
