The Roman believed that the month of September was looked after by the god Vulcan. As the god of the fire and forge they therefore expected September to be associated with fires, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. September is the start of school year. Students return to school after summer holiday.
September in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of March in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological autumn is 1 September. In the Southern hemisphere, the beginning of the meteorological spring is 1 September.
September begins on the same day of the week as December every year, because there are 91 days separating September and December, which is a multiple of seven (the number of days in the week). No other month ends on the same day of the week as September in any year.
The month of September is the beginning of the so called ember months. This month is a crucial and significant month for various reasons for many people in many cultures. September is however the 9th month of the Gregorian calendar. For the Jews, it is the seventh (7th) month following the religious calendar, but the 1st month of their civil year. They called it ETHANIM (TISHRI) and marked this time with special festivals or feasts.
In several African tribal communities, September is marked by the celebration of key traditional festivals, renewal of altars and the renewal of covenants with deities. It is marked by offerings and sacrifices to the gods, drumming and dancing, sacred assemblies, resolutions and attempts at development of communities, ceremonies of rites of passage especially circumcision ceremonies.
In some of the cultures, it is a month of religious processions, music, dancing and theatrical exhibitions. Generally, it is a time of organisation of sporting activities, relaxation, joy, etc. In other tribes focus is given to the remembrance or celebration of the dead in various ceremonies.
