Day 26
The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by Neo-Pagans, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here) starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on Samhain.
Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree (second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month listed below).

Roman information
a.d. VII Id. Ivn.
7 days before the Ides of June
Month: Ivnivs or Junius
The a.d. VII Id. designation means ante diem or seven “days before” the Ides (Full Moon) of the month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued to use the lunar day names.
The Roman month of Junius is named for Juno. June was sacred to Juno, Roman Queen Goddess.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus’ calendar, June (the fourth month) had 30 days. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, June had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), June had 30 days. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582.

holy days 2009
These holy days are on different day each year on the solar calendar.
Full Moon:
Full Moon: Wiccan holy day. Wiccan Esbat for the Full Moon. Known as the Strong Sun Moon.
Day of Isis:
Day of Isis: Greco-Roman holy day. Full Moon worship of Isis (Aset in the original ancient Egyptian language). Worship of Isis spread throughout the Hellenic Empire and the later Roman Empire and beyond into Germanic, Norse, and Celtic lands, across the Middle East and Asia, and south through Africa.
The city of Paris is named for a great ancient temple to Isis (Per-Isis) and the Notre Dame Cathedral, built on the site, still has the original Isis altar with the myth of Isis and Osiris depicted. Until the 1700s the Notre Dame Cathedral still featured a prominent ancient statue of Isis (under the claim that it was the Black Madonna). Unfortunately a French Witch stormed into Notre Dame and demanded the return of the entire site and artwork, pointing out that the statue was actually of Isis rather than Mary. Horrified Roman Catholic priests smashed the statue into rubble. The fate of the French WItch is not recorded, but probably was death by torture.
The Day of Isis (each Full Moon) was celebrated with feasting, dancing, and singing. Along the Nile and in other locations near a river, lake, or other body of water, the celebrants would float small wooden or paper boats with lit candles in honor of Isis. In some places thousands of little boats would light up the water. Sometimes colored paper would be put around the candles to create dazzling colored light displays. Isis worshipers would put their hopes and dreams on scraps of paper on the boats, in the belief that Isis would grant these in the coming lunar month.
Poornima:
Poornima: Hindu holy day. The Full Moon Day that defines the Hindu lunar month’s unique qualities.
