Sextidi
The twelve months of the republican calendar of the French Revolution are each divided into three "decades" of ten days. Sextidi is the sixth day of a decade. The 6th, 16th and 26th of each month and the Fête de la révolution of the Sansculottids fall on a sextidi.
Day names
The day names of the Sextidi were (like most other day names) agricultural crops. Only in the Nivôse were the days named after minerals and animal substances.
