OdaySomali Posted February 14, 2012 Maalinta Saint Valentine - a Cristian celebration. What is nowadays presented as the modern "valentines" day was infact a Christian day to remember and honour a "Saint Valentine" or Valentinus, a number of 14 cristian 'martyrs' of ancient Rome. This honouring of these Cristian martyrs has been done on the 14 of Feb since time immemorial; this used to include a large feast. Later there was an addition, as is not surprising in the irrational christian norms, of an element of 'celebrating' 'love'. Interesting not ? Halloween - A Pagano-Christian celebration This celebration has its roots in Paganism and has also been heavily influenced by Cristianity. "Its origins are in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, though it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, derived from the Old Irish Samuin meaning "summer's end". As part of thsi event, the Gaels built huge, symbolically regenerative bonfires and invoked the help of the gods through animal and perhaps even human sacrifice." "All Hallows or Hallows mass, often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown." Christmas aka Christ's Mass "Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Crīstesmæsse, literally "Christ's mass") is an annual commemoration of the birth of" Jesus (caleyhi salaam) son of Mary. This was later fused with the honouring of Saint Nicolas. Santaclause is the 'english' word in refernce to Saint Nicolas who was a Cristian 'Saint' in western Roman empire or what is nowadays a town in Turkey. He was said to give children/needy people presents. Other tales say that needy people would leave out their shoes for him and he would leave gold coins in them. Cristmas was later changed to the 24/25 of december on which it is celebrated now, even though it is widely accepted that Jesus' (calayhi salaam) was not born in this period. The reason the timing was changed was because the church wanted to bring 'ebnlightenment' of Christian elemen to the period that was 24/25 end of December during which people still celebrated a Pagen festival.

Chimera Posted February 15, 2012 A good relationship has a small celebration day every week, a medium one every year and a massive one every two years, like going to Al-Andalus, or Istanbul, or Tokyo, or Dubai, somewhere new, somewhere exotic. If you have kids below the age of 5; dump them with your close relatives, and only let them join when they are above 5. That will keep the marriage fresh and exciting.
