I am once again too late. I think i will have to download some new calendars, for keeping such occasions in mind. For the remembrance on the Christian festive days we had got the church bells installed. Lol xx Michael
We celebrated Diwali in the classroom, making little candle holders and rangoli art. A parent Zoomed with us to teach the children about this Festival of Lights. It was wonderful! Best to you, Pete.
Thanks Pete! It is curious though that Diwali, festival of lights comes so close to Halloween. On Both days, the black magic is strong in the air as the veil between world’s things…
Most festivals at this time of year tend to be about harvests, or remembering the dead. They are not that different, all around the world.
Best wishes, Pete.
Here in India, it’s one of the biggest festival we celebrate !!! London is full of Indians so yes, you would have seen the celebration there. Come India sometime for sure, will show you around many festivals 😄😄😄
Thanks, Theo. I have a lot of followers who celebrate that. When I lived in Wimbledon, my neighbours were Kenyan Asians, and they used to invite us in for their festival of light celebration.
Best wishes, Pete.
Yes, we should try.
Diwali is the five-day Festival of Lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains across the world.
Diwali coincides with harvest and new year celebrations.
It is a festival of new beginnings.
Diwali signifies the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
Happy Diwali.
