Thout (Coptic: Ⲑⲱⲟⲩⲧ, [tʰoːuːt]), also known as Thoth (Ancient Greek: Θωθ, Thōth) and Tut[1] (Arabic: توت), is the first month of the ancient Egyptian and Coptic calendars. It lies between 11 September and 10 October of the Gregorian calendar.

The month of Thout is also the first month of the Season of Akhet (Inundation) in Ancient Egypt, when the Nile floods historically covered the land of Egypt; it has not done so since the construction of the High Dam at Aswan.

Name

[edit]

The name of the month comes from Thoth, the Ancient Egyptian God of Wisdom and Science, inventor of writing, patron of scribes, and "he who designates the seasons, months, and years." Thoth presided over the "House of Life", which were composed and copied all texts necessary for the maintenance and replenishment of life.

from Grokipedia
Thout, also spelled Tout or , is the first month of the ancient Egyptian and its successor, the , spanning approximately 30 days and dedicated to the ibis-headed god , deity of wisdom, writing, and timekeeping. It marks the onset of the inundation season (Akhet), traditionally aligned with the of Sirius, signaling the Nile's annual flood essential for agriculture. In the ancient Egyptian system, Thout served as the inaugural month of the solar-based civil year, comprising three seasons of four 30-day months each, plus five epagomenal days, totaling 365 days without intercalation to adjust for the solar year. Named after Thoth (Djehuty in Egyptian), who was credited with inventing the calendar by winning extra days from the moon god Khonsu in mythology, the month reflected lunar influences in religious contexts, where an intercalary period was inserted before Thout every two to three years to synchronize the 354-day lunar year with solar events. Key festivals included the Feast of Thoth starting on the 19th day, celebrating the god's role in cosmic order, and New Year's rites on the 1st, often tied to renewal and the pharaoh's regnal cycle. The month retained its prominence in the , adopted by Egyptian Christians around the CE, where it corresponds to September 11 to October 10 in non-leap years, or September 12 to October 11 in leap years, in the . In Coptic tradition, Thout (Bohairic: Yowout; Sahidic: Yoout) honors Thoth's legacy as patron of scribes and preserver of knowledge in the "House of Life," with its name deriving from ancient festivals. This continuity underscores Thout's enduring cultural and liturgical role, bridging pharaonic astronomy, religion, and the agricultural rhythm of the Valley.

Name and Etymology

Ancient Egyptian Origins

The name "Thout," the first month in the ancient Egyptian , derives from "Djehuty" (or "Dḥwty"), the Egyptian term for the god , often depicted as an ibis-headed figure symbolizing keen observation and intellect. was revered as a multifaceted associated with the , whose phases he was believed to regulate, as well as wisdom, writing, science, magic, and judgment in divine assemblies. His lunar connections underscored his role in measuring time and maintaining cosmic order, while his attributes as patron of scribes extended to all forms of knowledge preservation in Egyptian society. In , served as the inventor of hieroglyphs, the sacred that encoded religious and administrative knowledge, earning him universal veneration among who invoked his aid for accuracy. As the scribe of the gods, he recorded the proceedings of divine councils and the weighing of hearts in the , holding a and palette as emblems of his authority. also acted as a mediator, notably in the , where he advocated for during his trial against Set, helped reassemble Osiris's dismembered body under Isis's guidance, and later instructed in his contest for kingship, thereby restoring balance to the pantheon. These roles positioned him as an arbiter of justice and renewal, essential to the mythological framework of Egyptian cosmology. Thout marked the opening of the ancient Egyptian civil calendar, a 365-day solar system without intercalation, aligned with the of Sirius (Sothis), which heralded the Nile's annual inundation around late summer or early autumn. This event fell within the season of Akhet, the inundation period, when the Nile's floodwaters deposited fertile across the land, symbolizing renewal, fertility, and the rebirth of the central to Egyptian life. The month's dedication to reflected his oversight of timekeeping and orderly progression, initiating the year with rituals honoring his inventive and regulatory powers.

Coptic Adaptations

In the Coptic Orthodox tradition, the name of the first month evolved through linguistic adaptations from its ancient Egyptian roots, appearing in various spellings such as "Thout," "Tout," or "Toot" in English transliterations. These reflect dialectal differences, with the Bohairic form rendered as ywout (pronounced "Yowout") and the Sahidic as yoout (pronounced "Yoout"). The term derives from the Greek "Θώθ" (Thōth), an adaptation of the Demotic Egyptian ḏḥwtj, the name of the ancient god associated with writing and measurement. The retention of the pagan-derived name Thout in the Christian served as a practical measure for continuity, preserving the established structure tied to agricultural cycles without implying of the . This approach mirrors the handling of other months, such as Paopi, which stems from the god , allowing the Church to maintain fiscal and seasonal utility amid Egypt's after the 3rd century CE. Symbolically, the name shifted from its origins in Thoth's domain of to embody Christian motifs of renewal and divine , marking the onset of the Coptic liturgical year as a period of spiritual commencement. Thoth's ancient attributes as the god of formed the etymological foundation for this evolution. Earliest attestations of Thout in Coptic texts emerge in the 4th-5th centuries AD, coinciding with the post-Christianization development of Coptic literature and script.

Calendar Position and Dates

Correspondence to Gregorian Calendar

Thout, the first month of the , consists of 30 days and corresponds to the period from September 11 to October 10 in the . This alignment ensures that the Coptic New Year, celebrated as the Feast of on Thout 1, maintains its traditional placement relative to the solar year. These dates are valid for the period from 1901 to 2099, during which the Julian-Gregorian discrepancy remains stable at 13 days, as the difference became fixed after the 1900 non-leap year in the (while 1900 was a leap year in the Julian). The operates on a fixed solar year of 365 days, with an additional day inserted every four years to form a 366-day , following Julian rules without exceptions for century years. This differs from the Gregorian calendar's adjustments, which skip the extra day in certain century years not divisible by 400, leading to gradual divergence over centuries. As a result, the correspondence between Thout dates and Gregorian equivalents will shift by one day every few hundred years due to these differing leap mechanisms. Historically, prior to the , the was more closely aligned with the , where Thout 1 consistently fell on Julian. In Gregorian terms, this translated to varying dates depending on the evolving 10- to 13-day difference between the calendars, such as September 8 in the or September 11 by the . The in in 1875 for civil purposes did not immediately affect the Coptic , which retained its Julian-based structure, but modern references now express Coptic dates in Gregorian equivalents for accessibility.

Structure and Length

Thout, the first month of the , consists of exactly 30 days, adhering to the ancient Egyptian civil 's structure of 12 months each with 30 days followed by 5 or 6 epagomenal days. As the inaugural month, Thout marks the beginning of the Coptic year on the Feast of , initiating a 365-day cycle in common years or 366 days in determined by the Julian 's rules. Thout contains no intercalary days, with the epagomenal period—known as El-Nasi or the "small month"—placed after the 12th month, Mesori, to complete the year. This fixed length ensures uniformity in the month's internal composition across variants of the used by . The structure remains consistent in the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church's , where Thout corresponds to the first month, Mäskäräm, also comprising 30 days with the epagomenal days following the 12th month. This alignment facilitates shared commemorative practices while accommodating linguistic adaptations.

Historical Development

In Ancient Egyptian Calendar

Thout, the first month of the ancient Egyptian , originated around 3000 BC as part of a fixed 365-day system designed to provide predictability for agricultural activities by decoupling from the variable lunar cycles of earlier religious calendars. This , consisting of twelve 30-day months plus five epagomenal days, evolved from an initial lunar framework tied to seasonal observations but became independent to ensure consistent annual planning independent of monthly lunar phases. The month's name derives from , the deity associated with wisdom, writing, and timekeeping. Astronomically, Thout 1 was aligned with the of Sothis (Sirius), an event that marked the beginning of the civil year and reliably signaled the onset of the Nile's annual inundation around 2773 BC. This rising, after Sirius's 70-day invisibility below the horizon, served as a natural anchor, heralding the floodwaters that replenished the land's fertility despite the civil calendar's eventual drift from these celestial cues over centuries. In agricultural terms, Thout represented the inundation season (Akhet), a period of preparation following the flood's arrival, when fields were soaked and sediment deposited, enabling subsequent sowing of crops like and . This timing was crucial for the Egyptian economy, as the flood's predictability—tied to Sothis—allowed farmers to ready tools and seeds, transitioning from submersion to the emergence () season of planting. Efforts to refine the calendar's alignment occurred under through the in 238 BC, which proposed adding a sixth epagomenal day every four years to counteract the quarter-day shortfall and maintain solar fixity with seasonal events like the Sothis rising, though the reform was ultimately rejected by priests and had no lasting impact.

Transition to Coptic Usage

The adoption of the ancient Egyptian by early Christians in occurred during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, primarily for liturgical purposes such as determining the , which required a reliable solar framework aligned with astronomical observations. This retention of the 's structure—12 months of 30 days plus an intercalary period—facilitated ecclesiastical computations in , a key center for and festival planning, while adapting pagan elements to Christian commemorations. The Roman introduction of the in 45 BC influenced Egypt's calendar system around , reforming the ancient Egyptian into the fixed Alexandrian variant with every four years to better synchronize with the solar year. Further, the Coptic era, known as Anno Martyrum, begins in 284 AD, marking the accession of (r. 284–305 AD), whose persecutions of prompted the church to honor martyrs through this dating system, with the Coptic year starting on August 29 in the Julian reckoning. By the 5th century, the Coptic Orthodox Church had standardized the calendar for uniform liturgical use across its communities, designating Thout 1 as the New Year feast of Nayrouz to commemorate the martyrs and integrate ancient solar traditions with Christian veneration. This version preserved the month names and seasonal divisions from antiquity, ensuring continuity in religious observances. The calendar's use endured through the Arab conquest of Egypt in the 7th century (641–642 AD), when Islamic rule introduced the lunar Hijri system for official purposes, yet Copts maintained it for church and agricultural needs, resisting later impositions like the Ottoman-era fiscal reforms and the British-introduced Gregorian calendar in 1875. Despite these changes, the Coptic calendar remains integral to the Orthodox Church's identity and rural practices in modern Egypt.

Religious Significance

Feast of Nayrouz

The Feast of , observed on the first day of Thout, marks the beginning of the Coptic New Year in the . The term "" has dual proposed etymologies: it may derive from the Coptic phrase niiaro-oo, meaning "the rivers," symbolizing the annual rising of the that historically aligned with the calendar's start and signified renewal and fertility; alternatively, it could stem from the Persian now ruz, translating to "new day" or "beginning of the year," introduced during Persian rule in (525–405 BC). This feast thus embodies both ancient Egyptian agricultural cycles and Christian themes of fresh beginnings, commencing the calendar established in 284 AD to honor Christian persecutions. Theologically, Nayrouz emphasizes the commemoration of the Church's martyrs who endured Roman persecutions, particularly under Emperor , viewing their sacrifices as a testament to faith and a foretaste of and eternal life. It symbolizes the believer's aspiration to join these martyrs in paradise, with liturgical readings in the preceding weeks focusing on Christ's Parousia () to underscore themes of , renewal, and over . The feast portrays martyrdom not as defeat but as a joyful transition to unending life, aligning the with eschatological hope. Liturgical observances include Vespers, the Divine Liturgy, and joyful hymns such as Tai shori (O King of Peace), chanted in a celebratory tone through the third hour of the following day (Thout 3). Readings feature Psalm 65 ("You crown the year with Your goodness"), the Gospel of Luke 4:19 (announcing the acceptable year of the Lord), 2 Corinthians 5:17 (new creation in Christ), and 1 John 2:8 (new commandment of light). A key rite is the blessing of the "crown of the year," invoking divine favor on rivers, plants, fruits, and creation, evoking the Nile's life-giving role. Families often gather for communal prayers and meals, fostering unity and reflection on spiritual renewal. This observance is shared ecumenically with the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Churches, which follow a similar calendar and celebrate their New Year, Enkutatash, on the same date, highlighting Oriental Orthodox solidarity in honoring martyrs and renewal.

Major Commemorations

In the Coptic Orthodox tradition, the month of Thout is marked by several significant commemorations that emphasize themes of martyrdom, renewal, and the enduring legacy of the Church's foundational witnesses, building upon the foundational celebration of on Thout 1. These events highlight the Coptic theological view of martyrdom as a pathway to spiritual renewal, where the sacrifices of early inspire believers to embrace new beginnings in . A prominent commemoration occurs on Thout 17, celebrating the consecration of churches dedicated to the Holy Cross, particularly recalling the discovery of the by in the fourth century and the dedication of the Church of the Resurrection in in 335 AD. This feast, observed over three days (Thout 17–19), honors the exaltation of the as a symbol of victory over death and serves as a liturgical reminder of Christ's redemptive sacrifice, with Coptic churches worldwide conducting special and processions of the cross. The event underscores the historical transition from persecution to triumphant establishment of Christian holy sites under . On Thout 1, coinciding with , the martyrdom of Bartholomew is commemorated, portraying his missionary work in Egypt's oases and among the , where he was placed in a sack filled with sand and cast into the sea by King Agrippa for preaching . This event ties into the broader apostolic martyrdoms recalled throughout Thout, reinforcing the month's theme of renewal through the apostles' and martyrs' unwavering testimony amid persecution, as seen in the Synaxarium's accounts of their departures as victories entering eternal life. Regarding the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, standard Coptic observance places it on 1 Bashans (approximately May 9 Gregorian), commemorating her birth as a pivotal event in salvation history; while monthly remembrances of the Virgin occur on the 21st of each month, including Thout 21, no major variants fix her Nativity on Thout 29, which instead honors the martyrdoms of saints like Arbsima and Agatha. These commemorations collectively frame Thout as a period of ecclesial reflection on how martyrdom fosters communal and personal renewal in Coptic spirituality.

Synaxarium Overview

Key Daily Entries

The Coptic Synaxarium serves as a hagiographic , consisting of brief narratives on the lives of saints, martyrs, and events, which are read during liturgies in the following the in the . Its primary compilation occurred during the late 12th to early 13th centuries, drawing from earlier and Coptic manuscripts, with key contributions attributed to figures such as Michael, of Atrib and Malij. These texts preserve church traditions, emphasizing edification through exemplary tales of and perseverance. For the month of Thout, the Synaxarium features 30 daily entries aligned with the Coptic calendar's first month, thematically centered on renewal and new beginnings—symbolized by the Feast of on the first day—alongside numerous accounts of martyrdoms and or consecration of churches. This focus reflects Thout's position as the onset of the ecclesiastical year, commemorating foundational moments in Christian history within an Egyptian context. Entries are selected based on their alignment with verified church traditions, prioritizing Egyptian martyrs and saints, biblical figures such as apostles, and historical events like church dedications that underscore doctrinal continuity and local heritage. This curation ensures liturgical relevance, favoring narratives that inspire communal devotion over exhaustive historical records.

For instance, entries often highlight divine interventions during persecutions, reinforcing themes of and eternal reward central to Coptic spirituality.

St. Bartholomew the Apostle

St. Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles of Christ, is commemorated in the Coptic tradition for his missionary work and martyrdom on Thout 1. According to Coptic sources, he preached in Egypt's great oasis (Al-Khargah), converting people through signs and wonders, such as causing barren vines to bear fruit instantly. He later preached with St. Andrew among the , establishing churches and ordaining priests, and converted cities along the Mediterranean coast, teaching Christian purity and chastity. He was martyred by the barbarous king of that land, who ordered him sewn in a sack filled with hair and sand and thrown into the sea. The Coptic Church honors him on the first day of Thout, aligning with the Feast of , as a symbol of apostolic sacrifice and faithfulness.

Abba Macarius II, 69th Pope of Alexandria

Abba Macarius II, the 69th Pope of the , is remembered on Thout 4 for his departure in 1128 A.D. after a 26-year pontificate marked by deep and pastoral dedication. Born into a pious family, he entered the Monastery of St. in Scete, where he excelled in monastic virtues, scriptural study, and unceasing prayer, eventually being ordained a for his exemplary life. Elected pope reluctantly following the death of his predecessor Abba Mikhail IV in 1102 A.D., he resided primarily in , ordaining bishops and priests while emphasizing liturgical piety and charitable works; he distributed alms to the needy without ever using church funds for personal gain. His theological contributions focused on upholding orthodox doctrine through daily preaching and guidance, safeguarding the during a period of external pressures on the Coptic community. Macarius II's legacy as a humble servant-leader is celebrated in the synaxarium for fostering spiritual renewal amid challenges.

Saints Cotylas, Axoua, and Tatas

The martyrdom of Saints Cotylas (Kobtlas), Axoua (Aksu), and Tatas on Thout 22 highlights the unyielding family faith during persecution under Persian rule. Cotylas and Axoua were royal siblings, children of King Sapor of Persia, a devotee of fire and sun worship who enforced anti-Christian policies in the 3rd century. Tatas, Cotylas's close friend and a Christian governor of Maydasayeen, was first targeted; accused of his faith, he was thrown into a blazing furnace but miraculously extinguished the flames by making the sign of the cross, inspiring Cotylas to convert and receive baptism. Axoua, moved by her brother's transformation, also embraced Christianity secretly and boldly confessed it before her father, demonstrating profound familial solidarity in faith. The trio endured brutal tortures—Cotylas was dragged by horses until dismembered, Axoua scourged to death, and Tatas beheaded—yet their steadfastness led to posthumous veneration, with their relics preserved by local priests. This account in the Coptic synaxarium exemplifies collective resistance and the power of familial bonds in sustaining Christian witness under oppression.

Consecration of the Church of the Holy Cross

The consecration of the Church of the Holy Cross, observed on Thout 17, commemorates a pivotal event tied to the discovery and veneration of Christ's crucifixion cross. In the early 4th century, Queen Helena, mother of Emperor , journeyed to seeking the , which had been buried under debris at Golgotha by Jewish authorities to obscure the site of Jesus's tomb and execution. Guided by divine revelation and local Christians, Helena unearthed the cross amid found there; a —restoring life to a dying woman—confirmed its authenticity. Constantine then commissioned the construction of a at the site, dedicated on Thout 17, which became a major pilgrimage center and symbol of Christian triumph over persecution. This feast in the honors not only the relic's recovery but also the foundational role of these early imperial patrons in establishing enduring holy sites, with annual celebrations reinforcing the cross's centrality to salvation history.
