The last month of the year in the Greek calendar ends the winter and the first one is in Spring (Starting with the sun in the Aries constellation at the spring equinox). So the holiday would have been nearing the beginning of Spring, which would make sense because Demeter was the goddess of corn and agriculture and during the winter her daughter Persephone had to go to the underworld. The spring coming signified she had returned and Demeter was no longer in mourning and would then again produce crops.
