 Adar
      n : the sixth month of the civil year; the twelfth month of the
          ecclesiastic year in the Jewish calendar (in February and
          March)


 Adar
    large, the sixth month of the civil and the twelfth of the
    ecclesiastical year of the Jews (Esther 3:7, 13; 8:12; 9:1, 15,
    17, 19, 21). It included the days extending from the new moon of
    our March to the new moon of April. The name was first used
    after the Captivity. When the season was backward, and the lambs
    not yet of a paschal size, or the barley not forward enough for
    abib, then a month called Veadar, i.e., a second Adar, was
    intercalated.
