Paremoude also known as Barmouda is the eighth month of the Coptic calendar.
It lies between April 9 and May 8 of the Gregorian calendar. The month of
Paremoude is also the fourth month of the Season of 'Proyet' (Growth) in
Ancient Egypt, where the Nile floods recede and the crops start to grow
throughout the land of Egypt. The name of the month of Paremoude comes from
Renno, the Ancient Egyptian God of severe wind and death.
