To measure passages of time, priests studied the Sun, Moon, and Venus. Mayas had a calendar with 18 months with 20 days, plus 5 unlucky days which made up the days in a year.

The Mayas also had a religious calendar of 260 days. Each day was given a name and a number.

A Maya year is divided into 19 months, designated Uinal.

Each has a name and a picture. Day names were called kin.
