Frimaire, Martha Romme, 1920
November 21 marks the beginning of the month of Frimaire on the French Revolutionary Calendar. The name comes from an old French word for frost: frimas.
Frimaire.
Starting the 21 November, Frimaire (whose name came from the French frimas, frost) was the third month of the year, and last month of autumn. Being oriented by te natural cycle and not by the once ruling Gregorian calendar, this month anticipated the first frost of the year.
