SUMMARY:Diwali (Hindu / Jain)
DESCRIPTION:One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism\, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness\, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.” Light is a metaphor for knowledge and consciousness. During the celebration\, temples\, homes\, shops and office buildings are brightly illuminated\, often with rows (avali) of clay lamps (deepa)\, for which the festival is named. The preparations and observances typically last five days. \nDiwali\, also known as Deepawali or Mahavir Nirvana\, is of special significance in Jainism\, as it also marks the anniversary of Nirvana (final release or liberation) of Mahavir\, the 24th and the last Jain Tirthankara. It is celebrated at the same time as the Hindu festival of Diwali or Deepawali. \nMore information about the Jain celebrations of this holiday can be found here. \nMore information about Hindu celebrations of this holiday can be found here.

SUMMARY:Jashan-e Spandarmad (Zoroastrian)
DESCRIPTION:Jashan-e Spandarmad is a celebration ceremony\, a Jashan\, performed on Spandarmad day of\nSpandarmad month\, in honor of Spandarmad\, a Pehlavi name derived from the ancient Avestan term\n‘Spenta Armaiti’ from the Gathas of Zarathushtra. Aramaiti means “tranquility\, stability and serenity.”\nIt is peace and prosperity. When used with the adjective spenta\, it means the “ever-increasing or\nprogressive serenity and peace”. In later Zoroastrian religious history\, the wise men/priests\nassociated Spandarmad with being the steward/guardian of Mother Earth. So\, when we see this\ndivine attribute from both angles\, for us it stands for Peace & Serenity for all Creation on Earth!
