[[Category:The Oan Isles]]
The '''[[Oan Lunar Calendar]]''' ([[Oan language |Oan]]: ''Maramataka'' or ''Te Porotitira Marama Oa'', '''OLC''') is the official calendar of [[the Oan Isles]]. It is based on the cycles of [[Olune]]. The Oan Lunar Calendar was developed at least 4000 years ago. As chronographic technology has been developed, the calendar has been developed. During the reign of [[Ahua the Great]], the calendar was separated into Before the Unification of the Oan Isles (BU) to After the Unification of the Oan Isles (AU). Thus, the Oan Isles is currently in year 1021 AU (which is 2021 CE). The Oan calendar starts during the month of Pipiri and is called Whakanui o te Matariki (shortened to Matariki and is the only secular holiday of the Oan Isles) (which spans May-June of the International Standard Calendar (CE)).

==Holidays==
The following holidays are designated by the government. Religious holidays are called ''Harikoa'' (Feast) and secular holidays are called ''Whakanui'' (Celebration). Official dates are in bold and are given on either the Oan Lunar Calendar or the International Standard Solar Calendar. There is some debate as to whether Ahua's Day is a religious or secular holiday.
