December
Religion-wiki — for all religions and none
December is the twelfth month of the Gregorian, Julian, and Revised Julian calendars. The month is named after the Latin word decem, which means "tenth," because it was the tenth month of the Old Roman Calendar. It has thirty-one days.
December is particularly noteworthy because it holds many religious festivals revolving around the Winter Solstice and the birth of Jesus.
