Cattolica o Protestante : Festività della nascità di Gesù. dato alla luce dalla Vergine Maria, Gesù è allo stesso tempo figlio di Dio e dell'uomo. Fin dai tempi preistorici in Europa, le feste (con falò, rituali e regali) segnavano l'inizio delle giornate più lunghe. La festa romana di Saturnalia durava molti giorni nel mese di dicembre. Le tribù tedesche celebravano anche il pieno inverno con bevande e rituali. I Bulgari ( con Koleduvane) e i Polacchi (con Gwiazdka) continuano questa tradizione. Gesù nacque probabilmente in primavera( secondo i riformisti in Autunno). Nel IV secolo fu scelto il 25 Dicembre per festeggiare la nascita del Papa Giulio I (Si parla anche del vascovo Liberus nel 354 A.C.). Così, fu introdotto un elemento cristiano durante le antichissime feste d'inverno. Prima del 1852, gli Stati Papali e altre città italiane celebravano il Capodanno il giorno di Natale.

Buddista- Induista : Vivekananda, Swami (1863-1902) the patriot-saint of modern India. The spiritual transformation of Narendranath at the hands of Sri Ramakrishna began in 1882 and was completed with his realisation of the oneness of all existence in 1886.

Ferie secolare : Subhas Chandra Bose (23 January 1897 – 18 August 1945) was an Indian nationalist whose defiant patriotism made him a hero in India, but whose attempt during World War II to rid India of British rule with the help of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan left a troubled legacy. The honorific Netaji (Hindustani: Respected Leader ), first applied in early 1942 to Bose in Germany by the Indian soldiers of the Indische Legion and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin, was later used throughout India.

Ferie secolare : It was the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress at midnight of December 31, 1929 - January 1, 1930, that the Tri-Colour Flag was unfurled by the nationalists and a pledge taken that every year on January 26, the Independence Day would be celebrated and that the people would unceasingly strive for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India. The professed pledge was successfully redeemed on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India came into force, although the Independence from the British rule was achieved on August 15, 1947. It is because of this that August 15 is celebrated as Independence Day, while January 26 as Republic Day. Il 26 gennaio dello stesso anno ottennero la promessa della celebrazione della "Festa dell'indipendenza" incitando il popolo a lottare incessantemente per l'istituzione di un Repubblica Sovrana Democratica dell'India. La festa fu definitivamente conclamata il 26 Gennaio 1950, quando l'Assemblea Costituente dell'India creò e diede potere alla Costituzione dell'India, sebbene l'Indipendenza dalla Gran Bretagna era stata dichiarata il 15 Agosto 1947. Per questi motivi il 15 Agosto viene celebrato come Festa dell'indipendenza e il 26 gennaio come Festa della Repubblica. www.indiaa2z.com

Buddista (Mahayana) : Vasant means, the spring season . This is the great spring festival, falling on the fifth day of the month of Magh, the first day of spring. On this day everyone wears a yellow cloth. It represents the ripening of the spring crops. Even the food is coloured yellow by using saffron. Spiritually, the yellow colour is a sign of prosperity; it is the colour of love. On this day we offer special worship to the sun god, to Mother Ganga (the deity of the sacred river Ganges), and Mother Earth. They provide us the means of acquiring food and all that we need to keep alive. We express our gratitude to them by worshipping them. Hindus are ever mindful of the debt they owe to all nature. Worship of nature is extremely important to them. In questo giorno si venera il Dio Sole, Madre Gange (la Dea del fiume sacro Gange) e Madre Terra. Loro forniscono i mezzi che permettono alla popolazione di ricavare il cibo che li permette di vivere. Viene espressa gratitudine attraverso l'adorazione. La popolazione Indù è molto attenta ai debiti che ha nei confronti della natura. Venerare la natura è molto importante per loro.
