Muslim’s celebrate Promised Reformer Day, Christians celebrate the feast days of Jacinto Marto (patron of people ridiculed for their piety, prisoners, sick people), and St. Winnoc (patron of Exultation, millers; against whooping cough, drought). In ancient Rome it was the 8th day of Parentalia. Neopagans celebrate this as the Day of Tacita. (This is one of those Neopagan conversions, where Tacita, the goddess of Silence, who was Roman death goddess is now seen as a goddess of shutting up, and anti-harmful speech, and the day has shifted.) Also Neopagan in origin, this is the beginning of the Goddess Month of Moura (or Cerridwen), a renaming of months and aligning them with the zodiac or lunar cycles.)
This week is National International Friendship Week and National Brotherhood-Sisterhood Week.
February is Spunky Old Broads Month. Exotic Vegetables and Star Fruit Month, Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month, and Dog Training/Education Month.
*further checking reveals that SOB day was the first of February, but since it’s a monthly holiday as well, you can celebrate today anyway.
