Are you interested in
learning about old things?
we are human We may
have many hobbies and interests.
The number of people
who want to know and learn is decreasing day by day.
This is my attempt for
those who are interested or want to know.
What are we interested in here?
We all follow the rules
of English months.
We work by looking at
the calendar.
At the end of the
month, we take salary or pay salary also by looking at this English month
calendar.
Have you ever wanted to
know where and how the rule of this month came from?
Today we will know how
this English month started. First Life on Earth:
Origin of English month names:
The name of the first
month of the year is January. The name comes from the Roman god Janus or Janus
in English.
This bearded deity has
two faces.
The name of February
comes from the Roman festival called Februum. Again, the name of March comes
from Mars, the Roman god of war. The month of April derives its call from the
Latin phrase aperire. Which means open. Perhaps this is the name given to the
appearance of flowers at this time, when the crops are harvested.
The Anglo-Saxons named
this month Easter. The month of May originates from the Roman goddess Maia.
As far as the month of
June is known, it got its name from Junius, the goddess of heaven.
Note: All Name Karan
information is compiled from Wall Street.
You will have to check.
There may be some inconsistencies in wording.
Who played a major role
in the revision of the calendar. August is from the Roman Emperor Augustus.
The call September
comes from the Latin word ‘septum’. Which
means seventh. Again, the name of the month of October comes from the Latin
word akta. Which means standing ostomy.
November came from
Novem. Finally, the month of December comes from the Latin word ‘desem’. The
names of these last four months were months according to their complementary
numbers before the calendar revision.
We know so far. I got
an idea. Someone else can also additionally have a special opinion on this.
Now let's come to the
English name of seven days, so I know how it arose in the world:
The seven days of the
week have different names. This seven-day naming has a history. These seven
days of the week are named after the ancient Greeks. Let's find out how the
name Satdin came about.
SATURN: In
ancient Roman times, the people of the Roman Empire believed that there was a
god of agriculture called Saturn. To appease Saturn they named a day called
Satajeez, which means Saturn day. Now that day has become Saturday.
Sunday: In
ancient times the people of southern Europe believed that a god was a ball of
light in the sky. The Latin name for this ball of light was Solis. People named
a day after him. Deis Solis means Day of the Sun. Northern Europeans used to
call Sanendez, which is now Sunday.
Monday:
Ancient Southern Europeans saw silver balls in the night sky. They now name a
day from its name Luna and its Latin equivalent, luna dais. Much later, people
in Northern Europe called this day Monandez. What we now know as Monday.
Tuesday:
Ancient Europeans believed a god called Tu was responsible for war. They
believed that the god Tyu would help the warriors who expected him and when
they died in battle, the god Tyu would come down from Mount Tyu with the help
of a group of women workers and take them to a beautiful place for rest. It is
called Twice Days. The old saying is now known as Tuesday.
Wednesday:
Northern Europeans believed the all-powerful god traveled in search of
enlightenment and lost an eye for it. So he always wore a tall hat to cover his
eyes. Two black bird gods sat on Wooden's shoulders as spies. But at night the
two birds went to the world and in the morning returned to Wooden and narrated
the events of the night. The ancients named a day of the week Wednesdays after
the wooden bird. That name is known as Wednesday all over the world.
Thursday:
Ancient Europeans believed that Thor was the god of thunder and lightning. They
believed that when the god Thor was very angry, he threw a huge hammer into the
sky, and at that time he lived in a chariot driven by two goats. The sound of the
wheels of the goat-driven cart is the sound of thunder. It seems ridiculous but
it is true in that era.
In honor of the god
Thor, they named a day Thursday, now known as Thursday.
Friday: The
ancients believed the goddess Frigg to be the goddess of love and marriage.
Frigg, the powerful god and wife of Jinn, was very beautiful and gentle. He who
sat next to the gods and Jinn and watched over all things in the universe also
ruled over nature. The Frigg Days were named a day after the goddess Frigg, now known
as Friday.
So far we have learned
about the names of the twelve months and the names of the weeks. Now let us try
to know about the calendar.
Without counting which
we cannot do even a day's work properly.
Ancient Calendar:
A calendar is very
important in calculating time. It has been valued since ancient times. Even in
ancient times, people have put a lot of thought into making calendars. Its form
has changed in different civilizations and eras. A beautiful calendar can also
enhance the decoration of the office or home.
A glance at the pages
of the calendar hanging on the wall gives us an idea of the days and dates of
the year. It is also known which day of the month there is a holiday, urgent
work can be done or where there is a program to go out for fun.
We know very little
about what the calendar was like in prehistoric times, and how time was calculated.
However, as a result of extensive research, a lot of information has also been
found about it. In very ancient civilizations, the method of measuring and calculating
the duration of months, seasons, and years was introduced from the position and
movement of various celestial bodies such as the moon, sun, planets and stars.
Archeology in Europe, i.e. the research of various signs and remains of the
ancient era, it is known that 20 thousand years ago, there was a practice of
making a calendar or calendar by cutting a kind of bottle on wood, stone and
bone. These materials were also used in teaching. Chad's periodic position was
important for this work at that time. Around 5,000 years ago, the Sumerian
civilization developed in the region of Iraq and the Babylonian civilization
based on the cycle of Chad was in use. Ancient American Mayan groups also
calculated the time of year based on the cycles of the moon, sun, and planets.
Today we use the English Gregorian calendar which is used in almost all
countries of the world. Apart from this calendar, around 40 types of calendars
are being used in different parts of the world.
How is the original Hijri year?
A large part of the
world's population calculates the Hijri year. In Bengal, the Hijri year is
equally important as the Christian year. The two biggest major
festivals of Muslims take place during the Hijri calendar. In addition, all
religious ceremonies and customs including holy Ramadan, and Shabakdar are done by
counting this Hijri year meaning the lunar month.
This Islamic Hijri year
was introduced to commemorate the landmark event of Prophet Muhammad's
migration from Mecca to Medina in 622. The Hijri year or lunar year is best
known as the Islamic year around the world.
The Hijri year is the
most ancient in our world. With the spread of Islam in the subcontinent, the
practice of the Hijri year began in this country.
According to
historians, the Hijri year was officially recognized in the subcontinent for
about 550 years. The practice of this Christian year started in our
subcontinent during British rule.
There are two main ways
of counting years worldwide. One is the solar year and the other is the lunar
year. The solar year is determined by the annual motion of the sun and the
lunar year is calculated by the motion of the moon. There are clear guidelines
for counting years in the Holy Qur'an. The declaration of Allah, surely, from
the day the heavens and the earth were created, there are twelve months in
counting the months according to Allah's decree (Surah Tawba-36).
