Interfaith Days: Baisakhi/Vaisakhi, Lord's Evening Meal

Because of writing deadlines, I "spaced" yesterday and missed a holiday: Vaisakhi, also called Baisakhi. It is an important Sikh holiday, the Punjabi new year, and also the day of the establishment of the Khalsa. Vaisakhi is the beginning of the solar new year in parts of India, thus making it important for Hindus as well.  This site gives more information about this day.

Today is the Lord's Evening Meal, the annual Jehovah's Witness commemoration of Christ's death. This site describes the day's importance.
