"The night wet and windy, two children dressed as pumpkins waddling across the square, and the shop windows covered in paper spiders, all the tawdry Muggle trappings of a world in which they did not believe."- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I cannot help but think of this line every time I see a holy day lost in modern appropriation. Saint Nichoals and Saint Lucy's feasts in some parts of Europe, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Lent, Saint Patrick's Day, Easter, All Souls Day. Trappings of a world in which they do not believe...
