Arslanoglou Achilleas: GOOD MONTH

HAPPY, HAPPY, CREATIVE, BLESSED, HOPEFUL MONTH
February the second month of the year, with duration 28 days for common years and 29 leap days.
It was originally the twelfth and last month of the Roman calendar but when January became the first month of the calendar, around the 153 e.g., February was established as the second.
With the calendar reform of Julius Caesar, the 45 e.g., February had 29 days the common years and 30 partyou're in the middle of nowhere. Nevertheless, the 4 B.C. the emperor Octavian Augustus removed a day from February and added it to August, which was dedicated to him.
Its name comes from the Latin verb februare (sublimate, lustrate), due to the rites of purification and cleansing performed in Rome (February and Feralia), from which the later Apocreos celebrations and Carnival events originate.
According to others, the name February comes from "veins", that is, the underground water that springs up during its duration from the many rains.
In the ancient Attic calendar, February corresponded to the second fortnight of the month of Gamilion and the first fortnight of the month of Anthestirion. During this time in Athens, Theogamia was celebrated (in honor of the marriage of Zeus and Hera) and the Dispensaries (in honor of Dionysus), on the first day of which the jars with the new wine were opened.
