June 20, 2008: Summer Solstice (Northern Hemisphere)
egsnyder
by egsnyder  6-20-2008   
 Summer Solstice Fun Facts * Pagans called the Midsummer moon the "Honey Moon" for the mead made from fermented honey that was part of wedding ceremonies performed at the Summer Solstice. * Ancient Pagans celebrated Midsummer with bonfires, when couples would leap through the flames, believing their crops would grow as high as the couples were able to jump. * Midsummer was thought to be a time of magic, when evil spirits were said to appear. To thwart them, Pagans often wore protective garlands of herbs and flowers. One of the most powerful of them was a plant called 'chase-devil', which is known today as St. John's Wort and still used by modern herbalists as a mood stabilizer. Celebrated in the Southern Hemisphere on: December 21, 2008 at 10:04pm AEST.

May 5 - Kodomo No Hi - Japan (Boy's Day)
egsnyder
by egsnyder  5-4-2008   
 May 5, 2008 is the 60th anniversary of the designation of this date as "Boys' Day" in Japan. The kite traditions are fascinating. There is some disgruntlement that, despite its renaming, it is still <b>Boys' Day</b> and it is inappropriate that Boys' Day is a national holiday, while Girls' Day is not. [March 3rd is "Girls' Day"

 Calling all Swiss! I understood this event always occurs on the 3rd Monday of April. But, in 2008, it was held on April 14th - the 2nd Monday of April. How come? How does one find out the real truth? What about 2009? When will it be held in 2009. I'm just updating the Multicultural Calendar for 2009 and would like to get it right! Send me a note if you know!

 Yesterday, I got this hair-brained idea that a "calendaring" habit could improve the eating experience of hospital patients / institutional residents. What do you folks think? Do I need more sleep? Or is this something that just possibly might work?
