I agree with you. St Patrick’s day is basically loved because it was a Holy Day during Lent - meaning people were able to break their fast. For me - a Protestant living in Northern Ireland - it always means a somewhat special Church service. I remember I was in Poland once on Halloween and a bunch of Churches were holding special masses. Halloween is the Eve of All Saint’s Day in Western Christianity. Ever since I chose to follow Christianity more, I have always viewed Christmas with the religious aspect, going to carol services, lighting candles at midnight, etc. But same cannot be said about society. St Valentine’s day is also Christian in origin, although I’ve never seen it that way. I guess it’s just the effect of a Christian society secularising. I believe a similar thing is actually happening on Eid in countries like Turkiye as well. Also with similar stuff in Japan.
Samhain most likely didn’t have any religious significance. The word likely just means “summer’s end” and it wouldn’t have fallen on the 31st of October as the Celts used a lunar-solar calendar
The date of Yule was adjusted to coincide with Christmas and Saturnalia was between the 17th and 23rd of December
Grew up in an Evangelical Baptist household in the UK. We always regarded Easter is the most important and still do. The reason is because Easter is the resurrection - which was a more important event than the Incarnation. It’s like celebrating the beginning of a project vs it’s completion.
Christmas is more culturally relevant because it involves buying gifts and capitalism is gonna capitalism
St Patrick’s day and Halloween are Christian 😎
Technically, anyone could make their own religion. Although I think pagans are still not obscure enough to not plan anything on the solstices anyway.
As a Christian, I find Easter to be the most important, followed by Christmas. However Easter kind of encompasses Holy Week (technically that’s before Easter tbf) mainly Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the only weekdays involved as Easter is always a Sunday.

Mine sends me texts lol
Instances and the local discussions in them. Always feels like if the fediverse gets overwhelming, you can retreat to your local page and it feels more cosy.
Seeing the same-ish users about. Like Emperor and Kolanaki.
Honestly, be on the guard for big lemmy milestones and make a post about it in !fediverse@lemmy.world at the right time, and you can easy end up in the top ten lemmy posts of all time.
I wish we could give people some form of awards though, perhaps remove the microtransaction feature (although honestly, awards are actually an ethical feature for raising funds as they’re mainly cosmetic and don’t track you)
AAAAAAAKSCHUALLLLY I’ve never seen this happen on Lemmy
Less endless scrolling tbh. Took me a bit to get used to and I still check Lemmy often, but there’s a time when I’ve seen everything for the day
Would it not be an absolute havoc? Like if your house gets searched by police and then they have to treat it as a potential murder scene.
Anyway, to answer your question, I guess if someone died and was willing to sell their skull
Who cares about porn
I got confused and then realised it was a cremation urn. Funny how some cultures are different, as in mine Cremation is uncommon and burial is common
My great grandfather would have shot them. He did shoot them. For King and Country. And I’m proud of this fact 😎🇬🇧
