Holy days and seasons

The days you keep.

19 observances across seven traditions. Each says when it falls, whose reckoning those dates follow, why communities differ about them, and the practices Japa brings to Today for as long as it runs.

Japa has not independently verified these dates against a published calendar. Check them against the authority your own community keeps.
