JANUAR

January is the 1st month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian
calendars and is also the first of seven months to have a length of 31
days.
January is known to be the coldest month in the Northern Hemisphere
and the warmest in the Southern Hemisphere.
JANUARY
When the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve and
December passes into January, we say farewell to the year just
gone and we hail the New Year ahead. It is fitting that this first
month should be called January, for the Roman god Janus who
gave this month its name was always represented with two faces,
one that gazed at the past and one that looked to the future.
However, before the name January was adopted in England, this
month was called Wulf-Mōnath, or “wolf-month,” because at this
time of the year the bitter cold brought wolves into the villages to
forage for food.
