In case you didn’t have a lot on your plate yesterday

It’s Nirvana Day (for some people),

no, it’s not the day you wear your flannel shirts and listen to grunge music; it’s the day Buddha died and achieved bliss (Parinirvana.) Some celebrate the day on February 8, others in Bhutan, it is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the fourth month of the Bhutanese calendar.

For others, today is the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia.

This was a fertility festival in honor of the pastoral god Lupercus.

At least you can say you did something this weekend
