February is the second month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. It is the shortest Gregorian month and the only month with the length of 28 or 29 days. The month has 29 days in leap years, when the year number is divisible by four (except for years that are divisible by 100 and not by 400). In other years the month has 28 days.\n\nFebruary begins, astronomically speaking, with the sun in the constellation of Capricornus and ends with the sun in the constellation of Aquarius. Astrologically speaking, February begins with the sun in the sign of Aquarius and ends in the sign of Pisces.\n\nFebruary was named for the Roman god Februus, the god of purification. January and February were the last two months to be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally considered winter a monthless period. This change was made by Numa Pompilius about 700 BC in order to bring the calendar in line with a standard lunar year. Numa's Februarius contained 29 days (30 in a leap year). Augustus is alleged to have removed one day from February and added it to August, (renamed from Sextilis to honor himself), so that Julius Caesar's July would not contain more days. However there is little historical evidence to support this claim.\n\nFebruary was nominally the last month of the Roman calendar, as the year originally began in March. At certain intervals Roman priests inserted an intercalary month, Mercedonius, after February to realign the year with the seasons.\n\nHistorical names for February include the Anglo-Saxon terms Solmoneth (mud month) and Kale-monath (named for cabbage) as well as Charlemagne's designation Hornung. In old Japanese calendar, the month is called Kisaragi (如月, 絹更月 or 衣更月). It is sometimes also called Mumetsuki (梅見月) or Konometsuki (木目月). In Finnish, the month is called helmikuu, meaning "month of the pearl".\n\nFebruary is recognized as Black History Month in the United States and Canada.\n\n"February" is pronounced without the first r, as "Febuary", by many speakers. This is probably elision, or an analogical change influenced by "January".

the Roman calendar in use today was made by julius cesar.  It's pre christian.  The days of the week are made up of the Pagan Nordic and Roman Gods.  With the exception of Monday (Moon Day, aka Goddess Day) and Sunday (Sun Day, aka God Day) The others are Tuesday= Tyr's day (God of War), Wednesday-Woden's day=(God of Cunning/Hunting), Thursday=Thor's day (God of Thunder), Friday = Freya's day (Goddess of Beauty), Saturday= Saturn's Day (God of Time)\n\nJew's honor Saturday as the Sabbath.

The traditional Chinese calendar does not contain “weeks”. In ancient China government officials enjoyed a day off for every ten days. The week system was introduced into China, I guess, only in early last century along with the Gregorian calendar. According to the Chinese calendar, a year has 12 months and a month has 29 or 30 days. If a month has 29 days, we call it the lesser month; if 30 days – the greater month. Each of the 12 months of a certain year can be lesser or greater, depending on the astronomical calculation. There is no special name to each month; they are identified by the ordinal numbers (1 to 12). If you want to know, for example, whether the second month of the next Chinese year (or lunar year) is a lesser or greater one, you have to consult an almanac or a perpetual calendar. There is an intercalary month arranged for every three years (approximately). An intercalary year has 13 months. That’s the outline of the Chinese calendar. And it may be obvious that the Chinese calendar cannot match its dates to the week's days.

sunday is day if the sun obviously, in Norse....Monday is day of the moon, also in norse....Teusday...I don't remember if the god was roman or germanic or norse but his name was Tiw.......wednesday originally came from the germanic or Norse god Odin but the germanic peoples changed it to Woden, so "Woden's day".......thursday is "Thor's day", Thor being the european god of thunder.......friday is the onlyone associated w/ a goddess and means "day of Frigga", a goddess of the harvest.......Saturday came from the Roman God, whom I'm not positive but may have been the god of agriculture, Saturnus, so "day of saturnus".....this was more than likely also how the roman festival of saturnalia began. Hope this helps!

July is named after Julius Caesar and gave it 31 days.  It was originally the fifth month of the year.  Per Wikipedia.org: "July was renamed for Julius Caesar, who was born in that month. Previously, it was called Quintilis in Latin, since it was the fifth month in the Roman calendar which started in March. Because of its origin, until the 18th century this month's name was pronounced the same way as the name "Julie"."\n\nAugustus took a day from February so August was the same length as July.  Per Wikipedia.org: "August was named in honor of Augustus. The month reputedly has 31 days because Augustus wanted as many days as Julius Caesar's July. Augustus placed the month where it is because that is when Cleopatra died. Before Augustus renamed August, it was called Sextilis in Latin, since it was the sixth month in the Roman calendar which started in March."
