An excellent Friday

Today is Good Friday.

Today is also Goddess of Mercy's (Guan Yin) birthday. This is usually celebrated on the 19th day of the second lunar month. There are actually two other days dedicated to Guan Yin - 19th day of the sixth lunar month and the 19th of the ninth lunar month.

Today is also an auspicious day for the Hindus as Sankatahara Chaturthi is held today. Quoting http://www16.brinkster.com/puranaanuuru/vinayagar/vkoyil4.htm:
The Sankatahara Chaturthi Viratha occurs during the fourth day of the They Pirai or Krishna Paksha, every month. Every year, we have the Maha Sankatahara Chathurthi.The viratha starts before sun-rise and lasts until moon-rise just before mid-night. This is observed in order to overcome difficulties and problems. People suffering from the bad effects of Moon or Mars can perform this viratha.

Friday is also the day for the Muslim's Friday Prayers.

I think today is an EXCELLENT day. And that's why I'm taking the afternoon off... :)
