Sartana (month)
Sarṭana (Classical Mandaic: ࡎࡀࡓࡈࡀࡍࡀ) is the sixth month of the Mandaean calendar.[1] Ashoriya (Ashuriyah), a day of remembrance for the drowned people of Noah's flood, is celebrated on the first day of Sarṭana. Light fasting is practiced by Mandaeans on the 9th, 15th, and 23rd days of the month.[2]
