October 2018 Events


Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection.
 Over such the second death has no power, 
but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, 
and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

United Nations Day (24 October)
Among the Anglo-Saxons, it was known as Winterfylleth, because at this full moon (fylleth) winter was supposed to begin.
The old English people split the year into two seasons, summer and winter, placing six months — during which the days are longer than the nights — in summer, and the other six in winter. They called the month when the winter season began Wintirfylliþ, a word composed of "winter" and "full moon", because winter began on the first full moon of that month.
