Re: Timey's Calendarium
Welcome to August. (I forgot about July).
July and August both used to be called Quintillis and Sextilis respectively, meaning the fifth and sixth months (from when March was the first month). These were renamed at different times for Julius and Augustus Caesar, who each had made reforms to the calendar.
Today is the Celtic festival of Lúnasa, marking the beginning of harvest time in the northern parts of Europe. This was traditionally a time of making bread, and the English equivalent, Lammas, comes from Old English Hláfmaes, meaning "Loaf mass" or "Bread festival".
