SUMMARY:Samhain (Pagan)
DESCRIPTION:Samhain is celebrated October 31st. This is the third harvest when all crops should be in.  Anything not harvested was left in the fields. Samhain is a Gaelic word that means “Summer’s End”\, so Samhain was the beginning of winter. For the Celtic people of Europe and the British Isles\, this was the end of the year as they began and ended their calendar with Samhain. So\, for Pagans\, it is New Year’s Eve. Samhain is also known as “the day between the years.” The day before Samhain was the last day of the old year\, and the day after Samhain is the first day of the new year\, so Samhain itself is literally the day between the years. Being between the years was a very magical time when the veils between past\, present\, and future may be lifted. It was a time of no time\, when order and structure were abolished\, and chaos could reign. For three days\, because all Celtic holidays lasted for three days\, men dressed as women\, and women as men\, children knocked on neighbor’s doors for food and treats\, practical jokes were pulled. For pastoral people Samhain was when the herds and flocks were moved to the lower winter pastures\, and when the herds were culled and animals slaughtered – a time of great anxiety – for it was necessary to slaughter enough to provide meat for the winter months ahead\, but not too many to endanger the herd. And that brings us back to Yule\, the completion of one full turn on the Wheel of the Year and the beginning of another. \nMore Information

SUMMARY:1984 Anti-Sikh Pogrom (Sikh)
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of three days\, 8\,000 – 17\,000 Sikhs were killed and about 50\,000 were displaced after Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by her two Sikh bodyguards on October 31\, 1984. Upon public knowledge of her death\, Indian citizens (primarily Hindu nationalists) determinedly murdered\, raped\, burned\, and tortured innocent Sikhs in more than 100 cities in 18 states across India. Government officials in Delhi handed out weapons and even fuel and ordered residents to attack and kill Sikhs. Even police and army personnel stepped aside letting mobs run wild beating and burning Sikhs alive in the streets. The Indian government has yet to recognize these events as state sanctioned killing and genocide. After decades of advocacy and pursuit of justice\, one then member of the Indian government\, Sajjan Kumar\, was sentenced for his role in these crimes against humanity. These recent assaults on the community have shocked and greatly impacted the collective conscience. \nMore Information:\nPublications\nIndia: No Justice for 1984 Anti-Sikh Bloodshed\n \nStudents and/or Co-Workers may visit their local Gurdwara at some point during the day

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.

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.
