Isar Calendar
Religion-wiki — for all religions and none
The Isar Calendar is the luni-solar system of dating and time-keeping used by Isars. It blends elements of the Persian Jalaali solar calendar with the Biblical lunar calendar. Significant features of the calendar are as follows: a lunar year that is dependent upon the solar year, which commences at the vernal equinox; 12 solar months with Persian-based names (e.g., Parvardinu = 1st month); civil events are timed according to the solar year, while religious events are timed according to the lunar year, which begins with the first New Moon (i.e., the first slither of a crescent) after the vernal equinox.
