What it is Filled
The tenth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, with 31 days, running from day 274 to day 304 in common years and from day 275 to day 305 in leap years, named from Latin octo, eight, because it was the eighth month of the early Roman calendar; observances include World Mental Health Day on 10 October, United Nations Day on 24 October and Halloween on 31 October, and many countries observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, while the October Revolution of 1917 took place in October by the Julian calendar then used in Russia, which was November in the Gregorian calendar.
