June 19 would mark the end of the 38th week, June 7 would then be the start of the 37th week. The four
week time frame is week 37 through week 40, inclusive. Note that, within the four week time frame,
distribution of births is greater closer to the due date in the middle of that time frame.

Cf. Emmerich, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, p. 286 7, footnote 1.
I disagree with the statement of Blessed Anne Catherine, found in the above footnote of her book, where she
states that the Presentation occurred on the 43rd day from the Birth of Christ. Blessed Anne Catherine's own
day by day description of the events leading up to the Presentation only allows for 40 days inclusive from the
Birth to the Presentation of Christ. Also, Jewish Law in Sacred Scripture requires this sacrifice in the Temple
to be offered on the 40th day (Lev 12).

The new moon of Feb. 6 at 11:37 hours JST is about 20 min. before solar transit (noon sun time) and so
Feb. 6 would be the first day of AdarII by calculation. If the new moon falls before solar transit, that same
calendar day begins the month, but if the new moon falls after solar transit, the next calendar day begins the
month (see chapter 17). New moon and solar transit data from RedShift 3. Days of the week from Universal
Calendar Calculator.
