I have added the book to my reading list, as well.<br /><br />Thanks for clarifying the determination of Easter's date each year. I have always found that confusing. Not surprisingly, Nyepi (the Balinese new year) is based on the lunisolar cycle, as well. It always falls the day after the first new moon after the spring equinox. <br /><br />By the way, wow, you would have loved the sight of the sky on Nyepi night. With lights turned off across the entire island and no clouds in the sky that evening, the star scene was breath-slowing -- surely a much more accurate description than "breathtaking," which I almost wrote. :)<br /><br />Love from Bali...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073410242744123241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14945452.post-3675616217756942132010-02-25T02:16:36.590-06:002010-02-25T02:16:36.590-06:00Dear Jane,

Your suggestions make a lot of sense. Unfortunately most attempts to make the calendar more rational have failed. I think we are stuck with it.Waverly Fitzgeraldhttp://www.livinginseason.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14945452.post-35327452126369597412010-02-24T13:11:09.641-06:002010-02-24T13:11:09.641-06:00Love it!

Move all the fireworks and fun superstitions into the late winter when everyone's got the blahs?<br />And Holi, the Indian holiday where people throw bright colored powder at each other, happens in the spring. I'm not at all sure what the significance is, but heck, I don't know what the significance of St Patrick's Day is, either. That never stopped anyone from wearing their "Kiss me, I'm Irish" sweatshirt and drinking green beer.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156423974518198915noreply@blogger.com
