Very rough guess, I only know of the Festival of the Serpent from folklore, and it fell the 15th to 17th before it was taken over by the banisher of the serpents - St Patrick. But it might have really fallen about the 5th if the changing to the Julian calendar changed the dating.

I also wondered if it was a star alignment, and the move to the 5th might be due to pregression.

Thats just the first ponderings looking at the first on the list...

Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions.



Weren't the other festivals non stellar based ?
