Mother Day has always been: The first day of celebration for the New Year on April Fool Day

Mother Day has always been: The first day of celebration for the New Year on April Fool Day
The French King Charles 9 declared the New Year to be on January 1st, according to the Gregorian Calendar. This was 450 years ago.
Instead of the mother, the haphazard date of Jesus birth was substituted to represent the New Year.
Charles 9 was the eldest son of Catherine of Medici, and he was pretty unstable mentally, as was her second son Henry 3.
Consequently, Charles declared April First, the former New Year day in all the western hemisphere, to be called April Fool because many still held the celebration on this day.
The dates of these celebrations were altered 3 times: When the Julian calendar was adopted, the moon calendar, and the Gregorian calendar.
Even though the dates were changed, the people in the Middle-East kept the tradition of starting the celebrating on March 21 (Nawrouz) and ending after April 1st.
Nawrouz is currently celebrated in Iran, the Kurds, Afghanistan, nIdia and many Caucasus countries.
Mother Day, or the Fertility Goddess, Ashtar (the queen of the day and night stars) had always been the first day of celebration that culminated on the New Year in April First.
Mother Day coincided with the equinox (day hours matched the night hours) and was also considered the beginning of the Spring season.
Many archaeological finds have described how the celebrations proceeded.
Syrian New Year’s eve was celebrated on the first of April 6764 years ago.
During the celebration it was prohibited to punish salves, to admonish children, or to work. Courts were not held even 10 days after Aril 1st.
The first 4 days were reserved to performing plays and recounting stories of myths. These festivities were available to all to participate.
Syrian calendar was a thousand year older than the Hebrew calendar and 500 years older than the Pharaoh’s.
The months of the calendar were named after the seasons and the corresponding main tasks performed during the month.
March (Aazar) is the month of flowers. April (Nissan) is the Spring, May (Ayyar) is the Light, June (houzayran) the harvest of cereals, July (Tammouz) the disappearance of the God Adonis (Adonis was killed in this month), September (Ayloul) is the month of sorrow for the impotent period of fertility…
Mind you that Palm Sunday follows Mother Day and the subsequent celebration of Jesus rebirth.

رأس السنة السورية 6764 الذي يصادف الأول من نيسان
السوري يتقدم على التقويم العبري بألف عام وعلى التقويم الفرعوني القديم بخمسمئة عام، وأنه مرتبط بأساطير الخصب الم…نبثقة من أحوال الطبيعة وتعاقب الفصول. يرتبط التقويم السوري بعشتار الربة الأم الأولى منجبة الحياة، نجمة الصباح والمساء في آن معاً، الربة التي تصفها النصوص القديمة بأنها «في فمها يكمن سرُّ الحياة، ويشيع من ابتسامتها الأمن والطمأنينة في النفوس. عشتار التي تلقب في الأسطورة بـ«أم الزلف». وهي نفسها أم الزلف التي مازال الناس يغنون لها في أرياف #سورية الطبيعية: «عالعين يم الزلف زلفة يا موليا» نعم نغني لعشتار دون أن ندرك ذلك، فكلمة «زلف» تعني بالسريانية أشياء كثيرها أولها: «الثوب الموشى، الزينة، الجمال.. إلخ «أما كلمة «موليا» فتعني: «الخصب، الوفرة، الامتلاء، الإشباع… إلخ»
وهذه المعاني كلها تتصل بعشتار الأم والأرض والطبيعة. كانت احتفالات رأس السنة السورية تبدأ في الحادي والعشرين من آذار. الأيام الأربعة الأولى منها تخصص لتقديم المسرحيات ورواية الأساطير. بعدها تبدأ الاحتفالات الدينية لتبلغ ذروتها في عيد رأس السنة السوري في الأول من نيسان، ثم تستمر حتى العاشر منه.
وخلال كل هذه المدة كان من المحرم على الناس تأنيب الأطفال ومعاقبة العبيد أو القيام بالأعمال اليومية أو انعقاد المحاكم.
ما أدهشني هو أن أسماء الشهور السورية لا تزال على حالها منذ القدم وهي متصلة بدورة الطبيعة فآذار الذي تبدأ فيه الاحتفالات هو شهر الزهر، نيسان- الربيع، أيار -النور، حزيران- حصاد الحنطة، تموز– فقدان المُخَصِّب حبيب عشتار، أيلول «أولولو» شهر الولولة على «تموز» لزوال خصبه… الخ.
والحق أن الاحتفال بعيد رأس السنة السورية ظل مستمراً في بلادنا عبر آلاف السنين، تحت اسم عيد الرابع، إلى أن حجبته الضرورات الأمنية قبل سنوات، ففي الرابع من نيسان حسب التقويم الشرقي الذي يصادف السابع عشر من نيسان حسب التقويم الغربي، كانت تقام الأفراح وتعقد الدبكات، في مختلف أنحاء الساحل السوري. صحيح أن أباطرة روما عندما حكموا هذه الأرض حاولوا فرض أسمائهم على تقويمنا مثل يوليوس وأغسطس، لكن بصمتهم زالت بزوالهم.
يرى صديقي أن هذا العيد قد أخذ منا ثلاث مرات، الأولى عند فرض التقويم اليولياني، والثانية عند فرض التقويم القمري، والثالثة عندما أمر «شارل» التاسع ملك فرنسا قبل أربعمئة وخمسين عاماً باعتماد التقويم الغريغوري ونقل رأس السنة من أول نيسان إلى أول كانون الثاني. فقد أطلق على رأس السنة السورية اسم April fool أي أحمق نيسان، وهي عبارة كانت تطلق على أي شخص ينسى أن رأس السنة قد تم نقله من واحد نيسان إلى 1 كانون الثاني. وما يحز في النفس هو أننا، لغفلتنا، جارينا خصومنا في الاستهزاء بتراثنا فاعتمدنا الأول من نيسان عيداً للكذب، جاهلين أنه عيدنا الذي ضيعه جهلنا!

Halloween, April Fool’s, Religious signs… Are you permitted to dress up
Happy wowday
Halloween gives you permission to dress up. April Fool’s, a chance to play a prank.
What if there was one day of the year where you had permission to do things that made people say, “wow.”
Acts of generosity or bravery or insight…
What if you focused and practiced and got your nerve up and leaned way over the edge, just one day of the year?
If you could get out of your comfort zone for a few hours in a way that benefited and delighted people you care about, what would that look and feel like?
Today might be your wowday. Or tomorrow.
Up to you.

21 Hilarious Signs You Grew Up With Religious Parents
ROB FEE posted this March 11, 2014
1. On Halloween you didn’t get to go trick-or-treating. Instead you went to a Hallelujah Party at church where everyone had to dress up like a Bible character. Basically you had to wear a bathrobe.
2. The only time you could buy CDs is if they came from here:
3. You knew about all of the hidden, Satanic messages in rock songs if you played them backwards.
4. If one of your friends got a piercing other than her earlobes your first thought was, “Well, she’s definitely going to hell!”
5. Every time you heard a loud rumble of thunder in the middle of the night you thought it was The Rapture.
6. If you grew up in Church of God, your college options were either Lee University or Lee University.
7. You knew who these guys were:
8. And also this couple:
9. You knew that Camp Meeting had nothing to do with exploring the woods.
10. Instead of calling adults Mr. Smith or Mrs. Jackson, it was Brother Smith and Sister Jackson.
11. If someone said “God is good” you knew to respond with “all the time” and then they would say “all the time” and you’d say “God is good.” It was basically a secret handshake.
12. The only R rated movie you were ever allowed to watch was The Passion of the Christ.
13. You had a cassette tape labeled “Michael W. Smith” but it was actually an MC Hammer mix tape because you would never be allowed to listen to that.
14. Everyone that had a tattoo was going to hell.
15. You got in trouble for taking the center cup out of the communion tray instead of just taking the next one in line.
16. Instead of joining the Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, you were earning badges with the Royal Rangers and Missionettes.
17. You didn’t go to parties, you went to fellowship.
18. Weird Al had nothing on this guy:
19. You knew that just because the pastor said he was about to close didn’t mean he wasn’t going to keep preaching for another 30-45 minutes.
20. The most terrifying experience of your life was a little production called Heaven’s Gates, Hell’s Flames.
21. Hip-hop was strictly forbidden, unless it was by this guy:

Notes and comments on FB and Twitter. Part 41
Note: Note: I take notes of books I read and comment on events and edit sentences that fit my style. I pay attention to researched documentaries and serious links I receive. The page is long and growing like crazy, and the sections I post contains a month-old events that are worth refreshing your memory.
Quand vous écoutez une musique sans tréve et en écrivant, une sorte d’affinité s’insert dans l’ écriture
Toute musique est un miracle quand elle nous done l’ illusion que la vie a un sens.
You have fat citizen slaves subsidized by the “Arab” absolute monarchs, and the skinny slaves imported from Pakistan, Bangladesh…who eat the left-over of their masters, and are confined in restricted areas, out of sight of the people…
If you block the receptors of growth hormones, you don’t get cancer, diabetics, or Alzheimer, even if you get overweight. And you live much longer.
Midget mice live twice longer than normal size mice and midget people (Laron) don’t suffer cancer, diabetics, or Alzheimer. Growth hormones are mainly protein from meat, but if the receptors for those hormones are blocked then there is no growth.
The serum from midget mammals have cells with double protection from cancer attacks: the cell first repulse, and if infected it destroy itself instead of disseminating the cancerous cells.
USA bombed on purpose Iraqi civilians in Mosul. It wants to slow down the re-conquest of Mosul so that the Iraqi 7ashd sha3bi don’t push forward to Syrian borders and jeopardize the plan of the US to control North-East Syria and prevent the land linkage of Iran toward Syria
If you buy things you don’t need, expect to sell what you badly need
Don’t save what is left after spending. Spend what is left after saving
Honesty is an expensive behavior. Not to expect it from cheap people
Faute d’ avoir une voix chantante, il faut que j’apprenne quelque poésies d’amours: au cas je tombe fiévreusement amoureux
Save some time for daydreaming, of stories and romantic dialogues: it is good for your soul.
April Fool comes and goes: Noticed No differences. Psyche: things are getting better?
Heard someone on his Smartphone: Mustafa ze3lan menneh. Ba3d ma dfa3tello. Wa keef fiyyeh edfa3lo?
“Black slaves pleasure themselves to tell us lies. They don’t lie among themselves”
Plus il l’estimait et moins il le comprenait.
L’athée ne peut se passer du curé: pour tenter de l’arracher a Dieu, il fit le diable
Un grand pouvoir ne se perd pas a demi: ceux qui courtisaient ses faveurs, se détournent de lui comme d’un lépreux
Le commissair en chef de la police de Bucharest a gravi tous les echelons sans avoir fait des études: Indicateur dans les prisons, planton, gardien, informateur, inspecteur stagiaire, assassin á la sold de la police…
La cruauté et une absence totale de scrupules et de sens moral sont requisent des policiers dans la plupart des pays pour gravir les échelons
Son corps est droit comme la hampre d’un drapeau. Chaque os de son corps a été brisé. C’est l’esprit du martyr qui le tient debout.
Les sans-logis sont amassés prés des No man’s lands , le long des chemins de fer et les cannaux
Roberto Saviani (Italian judge and author) said that most opium of Afghanistan and Keptagon produced in Albania are transferred by Turkish cartels, including dispatching Syrian refugees to Europe by sea.
What is common between Khan Shikhon and Joubar (Syrian towns) in 2013? Depots of chemical weapons of terrorist factions were bombed, usually stored in tunnels. Israel, USA, France and Britain would have bombed them without consulting with anyone if they were targeted. Hell, they tested nuclear detonations in open air for decades
Trustworthy? People watch what you do. They watch with the sound off. They listen to others. They seek out clues of the tiniest sort. Process developed before language was invented.
Les enfants enseignent ce qu’ils savent, avant d’oublier en grandissant. Ils ne sont pas preoccupés par les mêmes soucis
Les menaces successives finissent par dégonflé toute vertu
J’ai pratiqué la vertu avec la démesure d’un assoiffé de liberté. Et pourtant, la vertu est le contraire de la liberté.
La vertu sans un Dieu aboutit a l’absurde? Mais c’est ce Dieu qui a aboli l’humanism, le libre-arbitre
Le monde m’a impose le pavilion de la vertu. Pour les vaincus, la seule voie de salut c’est la vertu de l’obeissance. C’est un pavilion étranger a moi
Nul n’échappe á ce qu’il craint, et on ajoute des crimes pour preserver l’illusion d’ y échapper.
C’est toujour la peur qui donne le coup de grâce
La vertu est faite de petits rouages, sans valeur apparente. Mais alors, de quelle vertu de merde on parle?
