Finally July came and we can have a rest after so many exams at the end of the course. But what do we
know about July? Come with me and have a look! Its gemstone is the Ruby and the flower is a Larkspur. July is one of the hottest months of the year, and it´s the seventh month according to the Gregorian calendar.
It was the fifth month in the early calendar of the ancient Romans who called it Quintilius, which means fifth. A Roman Senate renamed it to Julius (July)in honour of Julius Caesar, who was born on 12 July. The Anglo-Saxon names for the month included Heymonath or Maed monath, referring respectively to haymaking and the flowering of meadows.
