The Months of the Year:

Jerrey-Geuree = January
Toshiaght-Arree = February
Mean-Arree = March
Jerrey-Arree = April
Toshiaght- Sourree = May
Mean-Souree = June
Jerrey-Souree = July
Toshiaght-Ouyir = August
Mean-Fouyir = September
Jerrey-Fouyir = October
Toshiaght-Gheuree = November
Mean-Gheuree = December

The Seasons:
Yn Arragh – Spring
Y Sourey – Summer
Y Fouyr – Autumn/Fall
Yn Gheurey – Winter.

In Manx Times of the Year, the Season Change at the same times as the Four Celtic Sacred Sabbaths of Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasad and Samhain.

So Manx Spring starts on February 1st, Summer starts on May 1st, Fall starts on August 1st and Winter starts on November 1st.

Shows that Ancient Celtic Culture has a lot of influence with Manx Culture.
