Hāliġmōnaþ or Hāliȝmōnaþ (; modern English: ''holy month'') was the Anglo-Saxon name for the month of September.〔Cockayne, Thomas. "The shrine: a collection of occasional papers on dry subjects" p.110〕 The name was recorded by the Anglo-Saxon scholar Bede in his treatise ''De temporum ratione'' (The Reckoning of Time), saying only "Halegh-monath is a month of sacredness”〔(Chapter XV, De mensibus Anglorum. ) ''"Halegh-monath mensis sacrorum.”''〕 An entry in the Menologium seu Calendarium Poeticum, an Anglo-Saxon poem about the months, explains that “in the ninth month in the year there are thirty days. The month is called in Latin ''September'', and in our language ''holy month'', because our ancestors, when they were heathen, sacrificed to their idols in that month.”〔Bosworth, Joseph.
