(New Year)
Coptic Orthodox Christians are found in all of Africa. They include Egypt, Libya, Sudan and Ethiopia.
During the time of Pharoahs 4,000 years ago, the appearance of Soothis (Dog Star) marked the signal that the Nile River would rise, flooding the fertile plains so that planting could begin. The end of the rainy season became known as the New Year.
