Ethiopian Christmas 2025

Ethiopian Christmas 2025. Ethiopians follow the julian calendar, which runs 13 days later than the gregorian calendar, used by catholic and protestant churches. January 7th is the date that orthodox christians celebrate christmas in ethiopia and the holy city of lalibela is where they’d all like.

Some orthodox christians visit a church to pray or reflect on inner thoughts in the lead up to the orthodox christmas day. These dates may be modified as official changes are announced, so please check back regularly for updates.
