The internet is a very diverse place but sometimes with the "default" north american skew, it may not seem like it.
If your culture or people or faith group or spiritual practice is celebrating something today or soon, would you care to share?
Many of us used to have smaller groups on another site to celebrate things together or hold rememberances, and perhaps tildes being a together kind of community can celebrate and learn together instead of segregating into silos.
Some suggestions:
- today's date please
- what cultures and groups celebrate or commemorate this day or period?
- what is the celebration's origins and purpose?
- how does one celebrate?
- how has it changed over the years or stayed the same?
- is it reoccurring and on what calendar system?
Looking forward to learning more from other traditions and groups!
