December 10<br />

fixed holy days<br />

These holy days are on the same day every year on the solar calendar.<br />

Great Cow Established:<br />

Great Cow Established: Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) holy day. The Great Cow (Het Heret or Nuit)<br />

is established in Ra’s majestic presence. Do not drink milk. Do drink and eat honey.<br />

Maunajiyaras:<br />

Maunajiyaras: Jain holy day. On this day, Jainists fast, remain silent, and meditate on their 24 great<br />

religious masters, known as the Tirthankaras, or Pathfinders. The birthdays of some of the Tirthankaras<br />

are also celebrated on Maunajiyaras.<br />

Poseidon Noumenia:<br />

Poseidon Noumenia: Greek holy day. The first day of the Greek month of Poseidon. According to<br />

Plutarch (Mor. 828A), the Noumenia (the first day of each Greek month) are “the holiest of days”.<br />

According to Jon D. Mikalson (in “The Noumenia and Epimenia in Athens”, The Harvard<br />

Theological Reviews, Vol. 65, No. 2, April, 1972, page 291), “In an ordinary year there were twelve<br />

Noumeniai, and thus they form a large and important series of “holy” days. There is no indication in the<br />

sources that the religious activities on the Noumenia of one month varied from those of another month,<br />

and therefore the Noumeniai may be treated as a single homogenous group.<br />

“The strictmess with which the Athenians preserved the sanctity and the independent identity of the<br />

Noumenia is striking. No annual religious festival is attested to have occurred on the Noumenia or to<br />

have included it. Not one of the positvely dated meetings of Athenian legislative assemblies such as the<br />

Ekklesia, the Boule, or a tribal organization is attested to have occurred on the first day of a month.”<br />

Festival of Lus Mundi: Roman holy day.<br />

Ganga - Bois: Voodou holy day.<br />
