Puzzles for the festivals the world keeps beyond the American calendar, starting with Lunar New Year, the biggest of them by the number of people who celebrate it, and going on through the year: the parades of Mardi Gras, the fast of Ramadan, Purim and Passover, Cinco de Mayo, the lamps of Diwali and the altars of the Day of the Dead.
Many of these dates move because they follow the moon. Lunar New Year falls between January 21 and February 20, Ramadan starts about eleven days earlier each year because the Islamic calendar is purely lunar, and Diwali comes on a new moon in October or November.
