Today is 12 September, 2025 (Gregorian).
Regarding the Ethiopian New Year (Enkutatash):
• Normally, it falls on 11 September in the Gregorian calendar.
• However, in Gregorian leap years, the Ethiopian New Year shifts to 12 September.
Since 2024 was a leap year, the shift applies now, so 12 September 2025 is Ethiopian New Year.
If you want, I can help you compose a blog post announcing Enkutatash or reflecting on its themes.
Here’s a warm blog-style reply you could use for today
Happy Ethiopian New Year – Enkutatash!
Today, 12 September 2025, we celebrate the start of the Ethiopian New Year. Normally falling on September 11, this year’s celebration shifts to September 12 because of the leap year.
Enkutatash marks renewal, hope, and new beginnings. In Ethiopia, it coincides with the end of the rainy season, when the countryside blooms with yellow daisies, symbolizing light and fresh opportunities.
May this new year bring peace, joy, and abundance to all who celebrate.
Melkam Addis Amet!
