If this had been Friday there would have been many...

spring equinox being one of them, but I am most curious to hear which holiday the OP is celebrating... I love increasing my knowledge of other cultures.

And here I thought Holi was just short for Holiday.

Nice bit of information LaRoza. The festival sounds very similar to some of the Druidic festivals celebrated around the same time... very interesting.

The reason I know of it, is I know some Indians. (One of which wanted to colour me, but luckily, he is in India)

You mean throwing colored powder at one another?

I assumed he had 'other' ideas but... maybe I was reading too much in to things.
