ABOUT APRIL 2024

April, the fourth month of the year, is named after the Latin word "aperture" meaning "to open." Its name symbolizes spring's awakening in the Northern Hemisphere. Historically, the Romans dedicated this month to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, and its Anglo-Saxon name, "Eastermonad," reflects festivals celebrating rebirth and fertility.

ASTROLOGY

April 1-19 fall under the fire sign Aries. April 20-30 are under the earth sign of Taurus.

BIRTHSTONES

April’s birthstone, diamonds, symbolizes enduring strength. The Greeks considered diamonds the tears of the gods. This clear gemstone, one of the hardest substances on earth, served as an amulet to bring courage and invincibility in battle, a belief that even influenced medieval kings

FLOWERS

April's flowers include the daisy and sweet pea, each with their own folklore. Daisies, with their simple yet elegant petals, are symbols of purity and innocence. In Roman mythology, the nymph Belides transformed into a daisy to escape unwanted attention, forever linking the flower to protective qualities. Sweet peas, favored for their delicate fragrance, brought blissful pleasure and were traditionally used in farewell bouquets to express good wishes

LEGENDS

Folk legends of April embrace growth and renewal. One such legend is the story of the "April Fish" in France, where paper fish are playfully attached to people's backs as a trick, symbolizing a young, easily caught fish and the gullibility of people.

April's weather folklore, "April showers bring May flowers," highlights the month's transitional nature. This saying, with variants in various cultures, reflects the balance of rain and growth, essential for the spring's renewal.
