| | Coptic calendar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Coptic calendar, also called the Alexandrian calendar, is used by the Coptic Orthodox Church. | | | To avoid the calendar creep of the latter, a reform of the ancient Egyptian calendar was introduced at the time of Ptolemy III (Decree of Canopus, in 238 BC) which consisted of the intercalation of a sixth epagomenal day every fourth year. | | | The Feast of Neyrouz marks the first day of the Coptic year. |

| | Ethiopian Calendar - Christian, Islamic, Jewish & Public Holidays |
| | The Ethiopian calendar is much more similar to the Egyptian Coptic calendar having a year of 13 months, 365 days and 366 days in a leap year (every fourth year) and it is much influenced by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which follows its ancient calendar rules and beliefs. | | | The Ethiopian calendar is always seven years and eight months behind the Gregorian (Western) and Eastern Orthodox Church calendars during September and December and eight years and four months behind during January and August. | | | However, the date of Easter in the Eastern, Coptic and Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Churches' calendars falls 7 days after the Jewish Passover which date determines the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches' Easter. |

| | Ink Sauce: The Egyptian months and gods |
| | Coptic is certainly Egyptian, and it may seem ancient from a non-Egyptian point of view, but to say that Coptic is the same language as Ancient Egyptian is a little like saying that Spanish is the same language as Latin, or that Panjabi is the same language as Sanskrit. | | | And Coptic is written in a true alphabet, derived from the Greek one, complete with vowels. | | | The names are given in several variant forms from two or three Coptic dialects, followed by the Greek and Arabic forms derived from them. |
