Just to prove that scholars, incorrigible as they might be, can be wrong, or, rather, nor right:

Sacred Time isn't about celebrating the spring equinox, though it does take place at that time. Sacred Time is about mourning the death of the year (and thus the world) and celebrating the birth of the new year (and thus the world).

So, happy Sacred Time to all except Nick (who has to settle for a MCaaHNN)!
