Did You Know? A Year have 13 Months!!

By Leog | Leog | 30 Dec 2022


Let's see how the ancient Romans chose the names of the 12 months of the year.

March: The ancient Romans insisted that all wars cease during the time of celebration between the old and the new year. Since March was the first month of the new year in ancient Rome, some historians believe that the Romans named March after Mars, the Roman god of war. May be an image of tree and text that says 'THIS IS NOT THE NEW YEAR.. DEC JANUARY THIS IS THE NEW YEAR! MARCH- APRIL ABIB ABIB 9 The Roman's dedicated the month of January to the two faced god Janus. for new beginnings Exodus 12:2 "This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the 1st month of the year for you.'     April: There are three theories about the origin of the name of the month of April. Some say that April was named after the Latin word meaning "second", since April was the second month of the ancient calendar. Others say that it comes from "aperire", Latin word meaning "to open", because it represents the opening of buds and flowers in spring. Others still think that April was named after the goddess Aphrodite.

May: May was named after Maia, a goddess of the land of growing plants. June: Apparently, June has always been a popular month for weddings! The Romans named June after Juno, the queen of the gods and patroness of marriage and weddings. May be an image of tortoise and text July: July was named after Julius Caesar in 44 BC. Previously, July was called "Quintilis", which is Latin for "fifth".

August: August was given the name of Augustus Caesar in 8 B.C. Previously, August was called "Sextillia", which is Latin for "sixth". Although we think of September, October, November and December as months 9, 10, 11 and 12, these months were 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the ancient Roman calendar. This is how they got their names.

September: The name of September comes from septem, Latin for "seven". October: The October name comes from octo, Latin for "eight". November: November name comes from novem, Latin for "nine". December: December name comes from decem, Latin for "ten".

January: Later, Pompilius added another month to the beginning of the year and named it January, in honor of Janus, the God of the beginning and the end.

February: Around 690 B.C., Numa Pompilius transformed a period of celebration at the end of the year into a month of its own, named after the Februa festival. This is how the month of February got its name.    

In 1582, Pope Gregory adjusted the calendar, so most western nations began to celebrate the beginning of the year on January 1. This new calendar became known as the "Gregorian calendar".

However, England and the American colonies continued to celebrate the new year on the date of the spring equinox in March. It was only in 1752 that the British and their colonies finally adopted the Gregorian calendar. The 3 months in question here were made by calling January 1 the new fiscal year to get rid of March 20 and the beginning of its spring year. May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'Beginning of life End of Life SPRING EQUINOX BLESSING ig@judahblack STIOV SEQUENCE Beginning of year End of Year New Year's is in Spring not January (Exodus 12: MOTHER REJOICE AND YOURBEART. PROMISI THATTH INOX BRINGS, BALANCE PEACE ITH THINGS, The Year This month be for you the first month, the first month your year." (Exodus 12:2. 23:15) The Start of The Biblical New Year'   In this way, the papal system could tax throughout the year. In this way we are celebrating our slavery on a date invented by our enemies. This brought about the day of lies, Known by as the day of lie, on april first. We live in a false calendar where we have several commemorative dates to celebrate human stupidity, stupidity of all nations.
