Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JUNE , the
sixth
  month in the Christian calendar, consisting of thirty days.
Ovid
  (
Fasti
 , vi. 25) makes Juno assert that the name was expressly given in her honour. Elsewhere (
Fasti
 , vi. 87) he gives the derivation a junioribus, as May had been derived from majores, which may be explained as in allusion either to the two months being dedicated respectively to youth and age in general, or to the seniors and juniors of the government of Rome, the senate and the comitia curiata in particular. Others connect the
term
  with the gentile name Junius, or with the consulate of Junius
Brutus
 . Probably, .however, it originally denoted the month in which crops grow to ripeness. In the old Latin calendar June was the fourth month, and in the so-called year of
Romulus
  it is said to have had thirty days; but at the time of the
Julian
  reform of the calendar its days were only twenty-nine. To these Caesar added the thirtieth. The Anglo-
Saxons
  called June " the dry month," " midsummer month," and, in contradistinction to July, " the earlier mild month." The summer solstice occurs in June.
Principal
  festival days in this month: 1th June, St Barnabas; 24th June, Midsummer Day (Nativity of St John the Baptist); 29th June, St
Peter
 .
