@markmccaughrean there's a distinct lack of moon in modern Christianity, but the people of the Bible used the lunar calendar first. henceforth all Christian countries shall use the lunar calendar.

@markmccaughrean Lent is also determined by the lunar calendar, as it begins 40 days before Easter which is always the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. And *that* is relative to the spring equinox, because Easter has roots in pagan spring celebrations.

Take that bigots.~

@sjcooke66 Ha – best not let actual physical evidence in the form of ancient stones get in the way of these people's self-righteousness 🙂
