Calendars are one of the tools that groups use to define themselves.
Less prominent than language, foods or clothing, the ways we mark time distinguish us from others. Calendars reflect lunar or solar ways of counting off time. The Jewish calendar is a combination of lunar and secular counting, according to both lunar and solar cycles. The months and dates for holidays are determined by the phases of the moon. The seasons are based on the revolution of the earth around the sun.
