OCTOBER

10/1-10/31: In the ancient Roman calendar, October was the name of the eighth month of the year.

In Old England, the month was called Winmonath, which means “wine month,” for this was the time of year when wine was made.

On Brazil: researched by Marina Alves

There are also weekdays for each of the orixás:

Monday: Exu, Omolu

Tuesday: Ogum, Oxumaré, Iroko

Wednesday: Xangô, Iansã, Obá

Thursday: Oxóssi, Ossain, Logun Edé

Friday: Oxalá

Saturday: Iemanjá, Oxum, Ewá

Sunday: Ibeji, Nanã

So much not included in this research: the afroindigenous festas de Catimbós and Encantarias, the afrochristian Congadas, Reinados, Marujadas, the extremely diverse indigenous festivals including Kuarup and Yaokwa and the Mariris... The festivals of indigenous-christian-african Daime and Barquinha, and Bumba-meu-boi and Parintins, the Festas Juninas - the midwinter harvest festival, the Catholic pilgrimages to Círio de Nazaré and Aparecida do Norte, and everything I forgot, and everything that I don't even know that exists… 

 It is a challenge to come up with a list of dates that isn’t infinite on one hand, or reductionist on the other. I chose to list the most important dates for most afro-based religions across the country. The first list are the most important dates that are celebrated in Umbanda terreiros all over Brazil, and in many Candomblé terreiros too. The second list comprises less commonly remembered dates, of orixás who aren’t usually worshipped in Umbanda. 

 As you can see these dates aren’t of African origin — they came to be on the crossroad between the various traditional West African animisms and Christian faith, the time when the gods had to disguise themselves as white saints to continue to be praised and fed and sung to

 
These dates have variations, as many terreiros seem to follow criteria other than syncretism with Catholic saints for the day of some feasts or even have different syncretisms in different regions.

 Not all these dates mean feasts. Yemanjá always have a feast of her own, but in most terreiros Nanã’s feast is on the same day as his son’s Omolu, for example. 

 
The names I used here aren’t the only names those deities have:

- I chose the Yoruban names of the deities, which are far more known than their Bantu or Jeje counterparts (so *Xangô* / *Ṣàngó* instead of *Nzazi* or *Sògbó).*

- I chose to use the Portuguese spelling of the Yoruban names, which is the most common (so *Xangô* instead of *Ṣàngó).*

- For the deities that have multiple Yoruban names, I chose the one I perceive to be the most common (so *Oxalá* instead of *Orixalá, Obatalá* or *Oxalufã*; *Omolu* instead of *Obaluaê*).

- I wrote *Iemanjá* and *Iansã*, although *Yemanjá* and *Yansã* are also used.

**On Candomblé and Umbanda:** 

 Candomblé is an afrodiasporic religion born in the senzalas and quilombos of Brazil at the time of slavery. 

 Candomblé is many since before its birth — as many different peoples were enslaved, with different languages and cultures. Nowadays, it is widely recognized that there are 3 main Nações (nations) do Candomblé:

 - Candomblé Ketu: from Yoruba origins, worships the Orixás

- Candomblé Jeje: from Dahomey, worships the Vodun

- Candomblé Angola: from Bantu origins, worships the Nkisi

 (but it's actually more nuanced than that)

 The distribution of the nations varies with geography. Vodun worship is more common in the South and the North. Nkisi worship is more common in the inner Southeast. The Northeast has all 3. And orixá worship is widespread, and really strong in Bahia and Rio. 

 Umbanda is not afrodiasporic — it's a Brazilian-born syncretic religion that drinks mainly from afrodiasporic practices, Catholicism, Kardec Spiritism and indigenous animism from the peoples of the litoral (Tupi and Guarani). 

 Umbanda is extremely diverse. Some terreiros are big temples, many are living rooms. Some terreiros are very close to their African roots, keep syncretism to a minimum and have Candomblé-like initiations (sometimes called Omolokô). Some terreiros are deeply Christian and Kardec-influenced and play no drums (sometimes called Mesa Branca). There's also Quimbanda, which is left-hand focused. Nowadays there are many terreiros influenced by western Ceremonial Magic. When it arrived on western Amazon Umbanda met Santo Daime and now there's Umbandaime churches all around. And it goes on and on…

 Umbanda worships the Yoruban Orixás, frequently dressed as Catholic saints.

On India-researched by Cory Linklater

Hindu holidays are dated based on the Indian lunisolar calendar (Bikrami calendar or Vikram Samvat). In different localities, festivals may be celebrated a day earlier or a day later than the date given.
Not included were Sikh and Jain holy days, as again, limited space given for the calendar gives precedence for the majority.
