MARCH was dedicated by the English to the goddess Rhoeda and hence called Rhede-monath. It was called also Illyd-monath or the stormy-month. In the woodcut they are digging hoeing and sowing with much ardour. After the introduction of Christianity March was held in great reverence as the month in which Lent began.
