September (i//
sep-TEM-bər)

month of the
year in the
Julian and
Gregorian Calendars and one of four months with a length of 30
days.
September in the

In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological
autumn

September begins on the same day of the week as December every year,
because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a
multiple of seven (the number of days in the week). No other month ends
on the same day of the week as September in any year.
September (from Latin septem, "seven") was originally the
seventh of ten months on the oldest known
Roman calendar, with March (Latin
Martius) the first month of the year until perhaps as late as
153 BC.[2]
After the calendar reform that added
January and
February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth
month, but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform,
which added a day.
September is the sixth month of the astrological calendar, which
begins end of March/Mars/Aries.
September marks the beginning of the
ecclesiastical year in the
Eastern Orthodox Church.
