Learning: The `HolidayBase` class uses `__getattr__` to dynamically implement `_add_holiday_*` methods through pattern matching, including patterns like `_add_holiday_<n>_days_past_easter`, `_add_holiday_<month>_<day>`, and various weekday-relative patterns. Methods like `_add_holiday_26_days_past_easter` are not explicitly defined but are dynamically generated when called.

Learning: For the Ethiopia holidays class, it's appropriate to add a return type hint only to the `_is_leap_year` method to match the base class implementation in `holidays/holiday_base.py`, while keeping other methods without type hints to maintain consistency with other country implementations.

Learning: In the holidays library, method names like `_add_holiday_2nd_tue_of_feb()` and `_add_holiday_1st_sun_of_mar()` use calendar constants internally through parent class implementations even when these constants don't appear directly in the file. Removing imports that seem unused based on a simple text search could break functionality.

Learning: In the holidays library, localization files have a specific structure: message comments are in standard English (en_US) describing the holiday, while actual translations (msgstr) should use the locale-specific terminology (e.g., en_CI for Ivory Coast English). For example, "Night of Power" in standard English is translated as "Lailatou-Kadr" in Ivory Coast English.

Learning: In the holidays library, date dictionaries that map years to specific dates (like queens_birthday_dates, spring_bank_dates, thanksgiving_day_dates, etc.) are typically defined within the _populate_public_holidays method rather than as module-level constants. This is the established library-wide pattern seen across multiple country implementations including United Kingdom, United States, Sri Lanka, and others.

Learning: For holiday tests in the vacanza/holidays project, structure tests by individual holidays rather than by years. Each test method should focus on a specific holiday and test it across multiple years (from start_year through 2050) using helper methods like `assertHolidayName`. For fixed holidays, use generators like `(f"{year}-01-01" for year in range(1991, 2051))`. For movable holidays, specify individual dates for specific years followed by a range check.

Learning: For holiday tests in the vacanza/holidays project, structure tests by individual holidays rather than by years. Each test method should focus on a specific holiday and test it across multiple years (from start_year through 2050) using helper methods like `assertHolidayName`. For fixed holidays, use generators like `(f"{year}-01-01" for year in range(1991, 2051))`. For movable holidays, specify individual dates for specific years followed by a range check.
