Grew up in an Evangelical Baptist household in the UK. We always regarded Easter is the most important and still do. The reason is because Easter is the resurrection - which was a more important event than the Incarnation. It’s like celebrating the beginning of a project vs it’s completion.
Christmas is more culturally relevant because it involves buying gifts and capitalism is gonna capitalism

Technically, anyone could make their own religion. Although I think pagans are still not obscure enough to not plan anything on the solstices anyway.
As a Christian, I find Easter to be the most important, followed by Christmas. However Easter kind of encompasses Holy Week (technically that’s before Easter tbf) mainly Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, the only weekdays involved as Easter is always a Sunday.

AAAAAAAKSCHUALLLLY I’ve never seen this happen on Lemmy
Less endless scrolling tbh. Took me a bit to get used to and I still check Lemmy often, but there’s a time when I’ve seen everything for the day
Would it not be an absolute havoc? Like if your house gets searched by police and then they have to treat it as a potential murder scene.
Anyway, to answer your question, I guess if someone died and was willing to sell their skull

Who cares about porn
I read this as “poverty line” whuch seemed messed up
Wildflowers are pretty :(
Stretched my leg too much
Animal Crossing New Leaf. I’d be ecstatic.
Samhain most likely didn’t have any religious significance. The word likely just means “summer’s end” and it wouldn’t have fallen on the 31st of October as the Celts used a lunar-solar calendar
