I mean, Saturnalia was the real "New Years". The vernal equinox, midsummer (summer solstice) and hibernal equinox were all important markers for survival planning, crop planting/harvesting, etc. Lemuria was really Kumari Kandam but by the time the original All Saints Day did its job assassinating the ancient Roman pagan holiday of Lemuria, the holiday had become so distorted in meaning that it was barely connectable at all to the submersion of Kumari Kandam. Samhain is when the veil is thin between this density and the next. That's what was important about them. I don't believe I've advocated for anyone to change their holiday traditions. I'm simply sharing information.
