Coincidence? Nah. Has to do with how my fave celestial body, the #Moon (Cancer bias ♋), aligns & what groups of men deemed sacred. Women were once deemed sacred...bc WE deemed ourselves sacred. 👑 . "Calculating the Easter Date: In 325CE the #CouncilofNicaea established that Easter would be held on the first Sunday after the first #fullmoon occurring on or after the vernal #equinox. From that point forward, the Easter date depended on the ecclesiastical approximation of March 21 for the #vernalequinox. Easter is delayed by 1 week if the full moon is on Sunday, which decreases the chances of it falling on the same day as the Jewish #Passover. The council’s ruling is contrary to the Quartodecimans, a group of Christians who celebrated Easter on the day of the full moon, 14 days into the month." . We #create our traditions.

Ndebele (South-African) Fertility Dolls.

These dolls are placed in front of a woman's compound by a suitor to indicate his intent to marry her. The bride names the doll, and the first born of the woman is named after the doll.
