CatherineM Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 If I'm going to shoot off fireworks, it won't be to a religious festival celebrated by Jainists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintbernie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Happy Diwali/Deepavali to you! Cheers to the celebration of good over evil, and to the coming together of families, friends and communities. It's more of a cultural thing in my country that unites everyone, whether they are Christian, Muslim or Hindu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's true. It's common for churches here to have Diwali themed decoration of the sanctuary for Mass on Diwali day. This decoration usually consists of lots of [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diya_(light)"]diyas[/url] on the floor in front of the altar.
