GOOD & BLESSED MONTH....

My friends, let us open our hearts to accept love for our fellow man, peace for the whole world and hope for a better tomorrow....
April is the fourth month of the year according to the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the eighth during the Ecclesiastical year beginning in September, the second according to the old Roman calendar and the tenth according to the Attic calendar (they were called Munich and corresponded to the time period 24 March-April 22 of the Gregorian calendar).
By the time of the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar it included 29 days since then 30. Nero it 65 A.D. try, without success, to rename April to Neronio (Nero) commemorating his rescue after a failed assassination attempt involving his teacher Seneca.
The custom of "April Fool's Day", with the innocent lies, it is a pan-European custom and it came to Greece, rather, the time of the Crusades. It has its roots in the ancient Celts, who used to go fishing on April Fool's Day and resort to false stories of big fish when they came back empty-handed.
The word April (Latin Aprillis) etymologically derived from the Latin verb aperire, which means "open". It is the month when the weather "opens up" and Spring comes.


April is the month par excellence where Easter is celebrated. In the first three centuries of Christianity, the various churches celebrated this great feast on different dates. Due to these differences the First Ecumenical Synod, which Constantine the Great convened at Nicaea in Bithynia the 325 A.D., decreed that “Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday after the first full moon of spring, and if the full moon occurs on a Sunday then it should be celebrated on the following Sunday (the celebration of Easter was therefore directly linked to the vernal equinox and the first full moon of spring).

March: HAPPY MONTH – HAPPY LENT

HAPPY MONTH – HAPPY LENT
We welcome the first month of spring, which marks the rebirth-revival-renewal of nature.
So let March be blessed, cheerful, joyful, colorful, fragrant, peaceful, hopeful for all of us..
March is the first month of Spring and the third consecutive month of the year according to the Gregorian Calendar.
In ancient times March was the first month of the ten month year and its original name was Primus, i.e. first. According to Roman history, Rome and Romulus, founders of Rome, they named this month March in honor of their father and progenitor of the Romans, of the god Mars (March), that is, of Mars.
March partially corresponds to the ancient Attic calendar with the month of Elafivolion, during which it was the season for deer hunting and the great sacrifices were made in honor of Artemis.
This is a fickle month in terms of weather conditions, and he is the only one who has become the subject of many traditions.
One of them refers to March's marriage to two women, one beautiful and one ugly. When he turns and looks at the first one he is smiling and the sun is shining, while he and the whole creation are clouded, when facing the second.
March is inextricably linked with Lent, the great fast before Easter. The proverb "March is not missing from Lent" is also related..
At 25 The anniversary of the Greek National Rebellion is also celebrated in March, which coincides with the great feast of Christianity, the Annunciation of the Virgin.

Axileas Arslanoglou: December Month, Happy Birthday.

MY BEST HOLIDAY WISHES – THE MOST HOPEFUL MONTH OF THE YEAR
December is the twelfth and last month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and is one of the 7 months in duration 31 days.
The name December came from the Latin decem meaning ten, since December was the 10th month according to the Roman calendar (time for the Romans began in March).
December is the month with the fewest daylight hours in the northhemisphere and most daylight hours in the southern hemisphere and always begins on the same day of the week as September.
In ancient Athens December was equivalent to the second fortnight of the month of Maimacterion and the first fortnight of the month of Poseidon, which was dedicated to the god Poseidon.
The Romans had two important festivals in December : the "Saturnalia" (celebration of joy and relaxation where apart from the established sacrifices, the exchange of gifts and games of chance were dominant) and Vrumalia (winter solstice celebration that honored the light deity Helios). Pigs were sacrificed on both festivals, which they then consumed
In our people's calendar, December is considered particularly "festive" because of its many religious holidays, but above all it is inextricably linked with the celebration of Christmas on 25 of the month.
