Hallowe'en and Dia de los Muertos are all about the world of the dead coming in to contact with the living, and they're big holidays. People celebrate strange stuff. |

You want weird holidays? The bible says when Jesus ressurected on the third day, he raised the dead from all around the area.
Ergo, Easter is the celebration of zombie rampages. |

Well the history behind Valentine's Day is pretty bad too... |

Easter was actually a celebration of Eostre, a fertility goddess.
You want an interesting one? Yuletide, absorbed into Christmas. Yuletide was the day of a god-creature called 'Yule', a somewhat goat-man like fertility god. In celebration of the coming spring, celebrants would burn a phallic 'yule-log' and keep the lights on in their house to signify their.. ehm.. celebration of fertility. ...with sex. I should note that I may have gotten a thing or two wrong there, my memory of it isn't very fresh. |

^^ IIRC there were two Saint Valentines that the holiday refers to -- Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. I...want to say they were Roman citizens and would have been beheaded instead of crucified (more honorable execution afforded to citizens) but don't quote me on that.
I think there's something like 14 martyred Saint Valentines total, but most of them have nothing to do with the holiday. |

You know what? It's not uncommon for holidays to have dark origins, okay? |
