Ok so I have a project where I try to gather the main dates for religions and connected plants to each holiday into one document. It's sorted by: Date - name of the holiday - religion/name - plant connected to it (if there is any). Is there a main religon/date/plant you're missing? 😃 🌱 January Jan 6 – Epiphany – Christianity – 🌿 Frankincense & myrrh Jan 7 – Orthodox Christmas – Christianity (Eastern) – 🌿 Fir, frankincense Jan 14 – Makar Sankranti / Pongal – Hinduism – 🌿 Sugarcane, turmeric, rice ❄️ February Feb 1–2 – Imbolc – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Snowdrop, rushes Feb 12 – Tu B’Shevat – Judaism – 🌿 Fig, pomegranate, carob Feb 26 – Maha Shivaratri – Hinduism – 🌿 Bilva leaves 🌸 March Mar 5 – Ash Wednesday – Christianity – 🌿 Ash (from palm) Mar 13 – Purim – Judaism – (No specific plant) Mar 14 – Holi – Hinduism – 🌿Palash Mar 20 – Ostara – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Daffodil, crocus Mar 30 – Eid al-Fitr (tentative) – Islam – 🌿 Dates 🌷 April Apr 12–20 – Passover – Judaism – 🌿 Parsley, lettuce, horseradish Apr 20 – Easter – Christianity – 🌿 Lily Apr 23 – Theravada New Year – Buddhism – 🌿 Jasmine 🌼 May May 1 – Beltane – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Hawthorn, flowers May 29 – Ascension Day – Christianity – 🌿 Spring flowers ☀️ June June 6 – Eid al-Adha (tentative) – Islam – 🌿 Dates, olive June 8 – Pentecost – Christianity – (No plant) June 11 – Shavuot – Judaism – 🌿 Wheat, barley June 20 – Litha – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 St. John's Wort 🌾 July July 9 – Martyrdom of the Báb – Bahá’í – (No plant) July 13–16 – Obon – Buddhism – 🌿 Lotus, incense 🌻 August Aug 1 – Lughnasadh – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Wheat, corn Aug 15 – Assumption of Mary – Christianity – 🌿 Lily, rose Aug 25 – Krishna Janmashtami – Hinduism – 🌿 Tulsi 🍎 September Sep 22 – Mabon – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Apple, oak leaf 🎃 October Oct 2–4 – Rosh Hashanah – Judaism – 🌿 Apple, honey, pomegranate Oct 11 – Yom Kippur – Judaism – (No plant) Oct 16–23 – Sukkot – Judaism – 🌿 Etrog, lulav (palm, myrtle, willow) Oct 31 – Samhain – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Pumpkin, apple, rowan 🪔 November Nov 1 – Diwali – Hinduism/Sikhism/Jainism – 🌿 Marigold, lotus Nov 1 – All Saints’ Day / Allhelgona – Christianity – 🌿 Heather Nov 24 – Bodhi Day – Buddhism – 🌿 Bodhi tree ❄️ December Dec 21 – Yule – Paganism/Wicca – 🌿 Holly, mistletoe, pine Dec 23–30 – Hanukkah – Judaism – 🌿 Olive (oil) Dec 25 – Christmas – Christianity – 🌿 Pine, poinsettia
