Birth of the Cold Moon

November 26th, 2019

Tenth month of the Roman calendar, from Latin decem, or ten.

Decembris (December) was originally the tenth month of an ancient Latin calendar.

Traditionally, the last Full Moon before the winter solstice has also been named Mourning Moon. The astronomical seasons do not match up with the lunar months. Therefore, the month of the Mourning Moon varies. Some years, the Mourning Moon is in November, while other years, it is in December.
