00:00Good morning, iBelievers!

00:02Good morning!

00:03Ate Shai, can you believe it?

00:04It's been months already, right?

00:06Wow!

00:07It's been a few months already.

00:08It's Christmas again.

00:09Yes, Kuya Chris.

00:10You're right.

00:11Months really fly by so fast.

00:13And speaking of months,

00:15we have a QOTD, or question of the day,

00:18from Thomas Camus,

00:209 years old, from Pasay City.

00:23He asks,

00:24where did the name of the months in the calendar come from?

00:27That's a very interesting question.

00:30I'm also curious about that.

00:32Of course, we have an answer for that.

00:34Of course!

00:37Where did the name of the months come from?

00:40January came from Janus,

00:43a Roman god with two faces.

00:45One facing the past,

00:47and the other facing the future.

00:48That's perfect!

00:51February came from Februa,

00:53a Latin word that means to cleanse.

00:56And in February,

00:58a festival for the cleansing of the heart and soul.

01:03March came from the Roman god of wars, Mars.

01:07April came from the word apirio,

01:09which means to bloom like flowers every spring.

01:13May came from Maya,

01:15the Roman goddess of growing plants.

01:18June came from Juno,

01:20the goddess of marriage and patron of femininity.

01:23July came from the Roman dictator Julius Caesar,

01:27who invented the modern calendar.

01:31August came from Caesar's nephew,

01:34the first Roman emperor.

01:37September came from the Latin word septem,

01:40meaning seven.

01:41Huh?

01:42Isn't that the ninth month?

01:44That's because July and August were included late.

01:48Because of that,

01:49October became the tenth month,

01:51even though Octo means eight.

01:54November came from the word novem,

01:56meaning nine.

01:57I think I know what's next.

02:00And December came from decem,

02:02meaning ten.

02:04Because July and August were included late,

02:07the last four months of the year were in the wrong number.
