For the month of June, we would like to present some interesting facts:
The Latin name for June is Junius. The month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter. In ancient Rome, the period from mid-May through mid-June was considered inauspicious for marriage.
June is the sixth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the second month to have the length of 30 days. June contains the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the day with the most daylight hours, and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the day with the fewest daylight hours. At the start of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Taurus; at the end of June, the sun rises in the constellation of Gemini.
There are many religious observations in the month of June: Pentecost(June 4th), Whit Monday(June 5th), Whit Tuesday(June 6th), Feast of Christ the Priest(June 8th), Feast of the Crown of Thorns(June 9th), Trinity Sunday(June 11th), Corpus Christi(June 15th), Lajkonik(June 22nd), and Feast of the Sacred Heart(June 23rd).
June is also the month of many holiday: Father's Day, National Flip Flop Day, International Men's Health Week, Great American Backyard Camp out Day, National Rocky Road Day, National Egg Day, Loving Day, Kamehameha Day(Hawaii), Flag Day, Bunker Hill Day(Massachusetts), Juneteenth Day, National Catfish Day, and many others.
The June birth flowers are the rose and the honeysuckle. A pink rose means perfect happiness, while a red rose means "I love you.". A white rose signifies innocence and purity, while a yellow rose conveys jealousy or a decrease in love. A bouquet of roses means sincere gratitude, whereas a single rose amplifies the meaning of the color. The other June flower, the honeysuckle, is a strong symbol for the everlasting bonds of love.
