July 26, 2024On this day, the Mayans celebrated the new year (according to the Haab solar calendar). This marks the beginning of a new cycle and a new "personality" or essence for the coming year, signaled by its own sign or glyph such as Seed, Monkey, Storm, etc. However, the timeless day of July 25 is perhaps more important to the Mayans than July 26, in that it is a day to give thanks and reflect on what has been accomplished and what lessons are to be learned. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #July 26 #New YearMaya

Multicultural and multi-religious almanac
An almanac is a calendar showing the main dates of the calendar, the religious holidays, bearing ephemerides such as the phases of the moon or the duration of the days (lunar and solar calendars).
A calendar is a system for marking dates according to time. Such a system was invented by men to divide and organize time over long periods. The observation of the periodic phenomena of the environment in which they lived — such as the daily movement of the shadow, the return of the seasons or the lunar cycle — served as the first references for organizing the agricultural, social and religious life of societies.
The calendar used today in most of the world is the Gregorian calendar. In everyday language, an ephemeris designates what happens daily; the ephemeris of the day is the list of the significant events of this day.
