# Ethiopian Calendar Website
> A Next.js-based web application providing Ethiopian Calendar functionality, including date conversion between Ethiopian and Gregorian calendars, calendar views, holidays, events, and cultural information through blogs. Built with TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Next.js 13+ app directory structure, it serves people living in Ethiopia and abroad to learn about Ethiopian culture, celebrate holidays, create events, and explore insightful blogs.

This project offers a comprehensive platform for exploring the Ethiopian Calendar, which differs from the Gregorian Calendar by 7–8 years due to calculation differences. It includes unique cultural holidays, fasting schedules, and blogs to deepen understanding of Ethiopian traditions.
