Dear Jeff, Jim and friends,

thanks. While I don't rule out the possibilities, it is surprising
that the full moon day of May were both European and Hindu holidays.
Can you give more details above the two holidays? Thanks.

metta,

Hello Jim, interesting question about the Full Moon in May. If I
remember correctly it is a common European Pagan holiday, as well as
a Hindu holy-day, so it may be like Christmas is to the Christians, a
holdover from earlier times that was simply embraced by the new
religious institution.
