The Yoruba calendar (''Kojoda'') according to "Ralaran Uléìmȯkiri" (ralaran.com) has a year beginning on 3 June of the Gregorian calendar, and an era of 8042 BC. The traditional Yoruba week has four days. The four days that are dedicated to the Orisa go as follow: * Day 1 is dedicated to Obatala (Sopanna, Iyaami, and the Egungun) * Day 2 is dedicated to Orunmila (Esu and Osun) * * Day 3 is dedicated to Ogun (Osoosi) * Day 4 is dedicated to Sango (Oya) To reconcile with the Gregorian calendar, Yoruba people also measure time in seven days a week and four weeks a month. The four day calendar was dedicated to the Orisas and the seven day calendar is for doing business. The seven days are: Ojo-Aiku (Sunday), Ojo-Aje (Monday), Ojo-Ishegun (Tuesday), Ojo-Riru (Wednesday), Ojo-Bo/Alamisi (Thursday), Ojo-Eti (Friday) and Ojo-Abameta (Saturday). Time is measured in isheju (minutes), wakati (hours), ojo (days), ose (weeks), oshu (months) and odun (years). There are 60 (ogota) isheju in 1 (okan) wakati; 24 (merinlelogun) wakati in 1 ojo; 7 (meje) ojo in 1 ose; 4 (merin) ose in 1 oshu and 52 (ejileladota)ose in 1 (okan) odun. There are 12 (mejila) oshu in 1 (okan) odun. ==Calendar examples== “KṒJṒDÁ” - 'Ki ṓjṓ dá: may the day be clear(ly foreseen), calendar'. The traditional Yoruba calendar (Kojoda) has a 4-day week and 91 weeks in a year. The Yoruba year spans from 3 June of a Gregorian calendar year to 2 June of the following year. According to the calendar developed by the thinker, Remi-Niyi Alaran, the Gregorian year 2011 AD is the 10,053th year of Yoruba records of time.〔(YÒRÚBA KṒJṒDÁ 10053 )〕 With the British colonial and European cultural invasions, came the need to reconcile with the Gregorian calendar: Yoruba people also measure time in seven days a week and 52 weeks a year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yoruba calendar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
