   October 24, 2023 is United Nations Day, the anniversary   
   of the official creation of the United Nations in 1945.   
      
   It is also Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, Dasara   
   or Dashain, a major Hindu festival celebrated every year   
   at the end of Navaratri. (from Wikipedia)   
      
   I think it is also about the same lunar phase as Yom Kippur,   
   though not the same lunar month.   
      
   I am still plugging away on alt.religion.druid .
