JUNE And all its 30 days Niels Jørgen Thøgersen The month of June has its name from the Roman goddess JUNO. She was the daughter of Saturn and married to Jupiter. Together they had the children Juventas, Mars and Vulcan. Juno was the goddess for happiness in marriages. That is why people earlier believed that the month of June was particularly good to get married in. Juno was also called the Queen of Heaven and of the Earth. And she was the goddess and protector of Rome and the Roman Empire. There are no special old weather warnings covering the whole of this month. People said, though, often in the old days: In June both heat and rain is what the farmer likes the most See more about the names of the 12 months: http://www.pantheon.org/miscellaneous/origin_months.html
