December !!! Blue Moon . - Page 3

Muharram (Arabic:) is the first month of the Islamic calendar. It is one of the four sacred months of the year in which fighting is prohibited.One of the two holiest Islamic occassions, Muharram shares its name with the first month of the Islamic calendar when it is observed. The event serves to remind Muslims of the brutal assasination of Husayn Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, and his entire family thousands of years ago

A blue moon is a full moon that is not timed to the regular monthly pattern. Most years have twelve full moons which occur approximately monthly, but in addition to those twelve full lunar cycles, each solar calendar year contains an excess of roughly eleven days compared to the lunar year. The extra days accumulate, so that every two or three years , there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon."
