The Significance of August 1st
August 1st has historically been a significant date for agricultural societies. Known as Lammas or Lughnasadh, it marks the beginning of the harvest season. In modern times, it signals the final full month of the summer holidays in the Northern Hemisphere.
August has 31 days. It was named after Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor. Before being renamed, it was known as 'Sextilis' because it was the sixth month in the original Roman calendar.
