In the early Roman calendar there were only 10 months in the year with October being the 8th month and December being the 10th and final month of the year. It was Julius Caesar who introduced two more months in the year which was known as the Julian Calendar thus making October the 10th month of the year and December then became the 12th and final month of the year.
Pastor Appreciation Day is October 10th this year but the whole month of October has been designated Pastor Appreciation Month.
"October" is derived from the Latin word "octo," meaning eight, as it was originally the eighth month in the Roman calendar before January and February were added.
The name "October" comes from the Latin word "octo," meaning eight, as it was the eighth month in the early Roman calendar. The Roman calendar originally began in March, making October the eighth month.
The last four months of the year are named after numbers. September (from the Latin for seventh month), October (8th), November (9th), and December (10th). But wait! Isn't October the 10th month? Isn't December the 12th month? Of course they are. These names come from the Latin words (Septimus, Octavus, Nonus, Decimus) but date from a calendar that had only 10 months. Two months named for emperors (Caesar Julius, Caesar Augustus) were inserted into the new "Julian" calendar, leaving us with the word for 8th month attached to our 10th month. Silly? Yes. True? Yes.
