On my Oxfam calendar it says that January 17 is/was
World Religion Day.
But now it is after midnight here, so it is January 18, which
doesn’t have any religious holiday listed, which might
keep the atheists happy.
The same calendar says that January 19 is
Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti
but Wikipedia says that is on January 20, so maybe it
varies with time zones???
The same calendar says that January 20 is Bodhi Day;
it is also first quarter moon, which I think was also
important to the ancient Breton druids (there are tales of
winter cutting of mistletoe on the sixth day of the
moon, and previously I have thought that would
be six days after dark of moon, but now I think it
is six days after the first observable waxing crescent,
but correct me if I am wrong).
(and for me, it is D-moon)
