JUNE - THE PASSIONATE MONTH

Every month has some inimitable feelings that are mostly associated with it and June is no exemption.  From the research I made, I found out that, the month of June was considered to be the month of good marriages because, marriages contracted in May was believed to be unlucky for couples.

The name June was said to be named after a Roman goddess known as Juno who was the wife of Jupiter. She was the goddess of marriage and the well-being of women that is why the month of June was believed to be a month of good marriages. 

During the Roman calendar, June was known to be the fourth month and had 29 days until the era of Julius Caesar which gave the month 30 days when he reformed the Roman calendar around 46 BC.

Within every month, there are some events in it and June is of no different. Some of the events celebrated in June are, Father’s day, World Environment Day, African-American Music Day, National Dairy Day, National Rose Day, among others. 

Every month and it flowers that it depict. The flower for June is the Rose. The meaning of the June Birth Flower Rose is passionate love and beauty while the gemstones for June are Pearl, Alexandrite and moonstone.
 
The history and beliefs surrounding the June birth Flower is fascinating. There are many myths about the origins of this belief. It is believed that most birthday celebrations instigated during the Roman Empire.

During these festivities, families and friends offered congratulations and brought gifts to dear ones. Some of the gifts included gemstone jewelry such as the Pearl and flowers.


No matter the occasion or season, flowers bring life to people and say it best. They are the best way to express our feelings and show love to dear ones.  Friends are always close to our heart and a flower compliment our feelings the best. Sending a flower to a buddy will make your buddy feel happy. 


June quote by James Whitcomb Riley
Then let us, one and all, be contented with our lot;
The June is here this morning, and the sun is shining hot;
Oh! Let us fill our hearts up with the glory of the day,
And banish every doubt and care and sorrow far away.
