Qaina ( Classical Mandaic: ࡒࡀࡉࡍࡀ) is the ninth month of the Mandaean calendar. [1] Mandaeans practice light fasting on the first day of Qaina. [2]
Qaina, which literally means 'reed', [3]: 210 is the Mandaic name for the constellation Libra. [1] It currently corresponds to Mar / Apr in the Gregorian calendar due to a lack of a leap year in the Mandaean calendar.
