July 23, 2011 – Numbers 29

I don’t have much to say about this chapter.  The 7th month was a very important month with 3 large celebrations in it.  One footnote said that this month became the new year.  I was thinking that was really odd, but then I was thinking about all the things that start their fiscal years in June (by the way I don’t know why that is) and realized you can start your calendar whenever you want to I guess.  Catholics start their Church calendar on the first Sunday of Advent, usually just after Thanksgiving.
