Beyond a reference to the end of autumn, we're not told exactly when the day of Thanksgiving fell during the year, but it seems that the Númenóreans considered Yavannië to be the last month of autumn, and the following month of Narquelië ('fading Sun') to mark the onset of winter. (When the later Dúnedain introduced a specific autumn feast day, Yáviérë, they inserted it between these two months, emphasising the importance that they gave to this time of year.) |
