Month of June. Anglo-Saxon calendar page for June, showing a man blowing a horn, with other men cutting and loading hay into a cart. At lower right, a representation of the birth sign Gemini is in a roundel. The text below the illustration is in Latin, with Roman numerals. This calendar includes details of the lunar phases: the kalends (kl, full to new Moon), the nones (n, new Moon to first quarter), and the ides (id, first quarter to full Moon). In the Anglo-Saxon calender, the moon in June was called the 'Hay Moon'. Full Moon falls here on 13 June. It is thought that this calendar was produced in Winchester, England, in the period around 1030.
