Need Reasons to Visit Belize During the Merry Month of May?
You don’t have to show up at The British Museum to learn about history and antiquities when a visit to the institution’s website will do. Among the fascinating lore posted on the site is an entertaining mix of art and facts that cover how the 12 months of the year got their names, most of them originating with the Romans:
- January was named for the Roman god Janus
- February represents a Roman festival of purification called Februa
- March takes its name from Rome’s god of war
- April pays tribute to flowers that open in spring (The Roman name: Aprilis)
- The Roman goddess Juno inspired the month of June
- July and August pay tribute to Julius Caesar and Rome's first emperor, Augustus
- September, October, November, and December stand for Roman numerals
- So, what about May? It takes its name from the Greek goddess Maia—thus the Romans had nothing to do with naming this month!
You don’t have to be Greek to celebrate May in a joyful way…
…especially if you’re desperately in need of a warm, relaxing vacation at a great destination that won’t require you to fly halfway around the world. Everything you need and want can be found in Belize, including Maya temples, palaces, cities, and relics that are equally as thrilling as trekking around the Parthenon. Further, who wants to learn a language as complicated as Greek when Belizeans all speak English?
