April
Religion-wiki — for all religions and none
April is the fourth month of the Gregorian, Julian, and Revised Julian calendars. The etymology of this month is obscure; it either comes from the Latin word aperire, meaning "to open," or from Aphril, another name for the Greek goddess Aphrodite. It has thirty days.
