re: #83 Pie-onist Overlord

Juice also use a lunar calendar. This year was a “leap year” where we had an extra month in the spring, to avoid “season creep.”

There used to be arguments every year over when it started and you’d end up with one group of people starting/ending a day before/after the other one. Now most people just follow ISNA/Fiqh Council of North America which “recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar’i method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal.”
