National Day Of Mourning For American Indians - US
Sojourner Truth Day - preacher and non-violent advocate for the rights of women and African Americans. (Born 1797)
This new winter festival was created in 1966 by Dr Maulana Karenga to give African Americans a focus during the holiday season. He synthesized various African harvest rituals to create new customs for this holiday; the name Kwanzaa means the first or the first fruits of the harvest in Swahili.
One of the main Kwanzaa practices, which aligns it with the other festivals of light like Hanukkah and Christmas at this time period, is the lighting of the seven candles of the Kinara (kee-NAH-rah), a candelabra with 7 candles, three red, one black and three green. Each candles symbolizes seven qualities of African culture to be emulated: Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination ), Ujima (collective work and responsibility) ; Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and Imana (faith).

Hunting the Wren - The old English custom of hunting the wren on this day may be the remnant of an ancient midwinter sacrifice. The official explanation given is that wrens are hunted on St Stephen's Day because their chattering in the bushes gave away the saint's hiding place, leading to his martyrdom. The usually sacred and protected bird was ceremonially hunted and its decorated corpse carried about to bring luck.
The Wren, the Wren, the King of all Birds
St. Stephen's Day was caught in the furze
Although he be little, his honor is great
Therefore, good people, give us a treat.
The custom still survives in Ireland and the Isle of Man where the bird's corpse is replaced by a potato stuck with feathers. It's not clear if the children even bothered to create a mock Wren in Deborah Tall's description of how the holiday was celebrated on an island in Ireland in the 1970s:
St. Stephen's Day, the children went pagan and mad, roaming the island in gangs, bursting in doors, unannounced, masked, painted, bedraggled, piping, dancing, and singing at the top of their lungs in their ritual "hunting of the wren." Cookies and pennies buy off their shrieks, the players curtsy and bow, then streak out through the rain to their next stage, indefatigable.

Wisdom 7-14

Wisdom
I prayed, and I received understanding.
I called upon the divine, and Wisdom came to me.
I loved her more than scepters and thrones.
Wealth is nothing compared to Wisdom.
I cannot compare her to any jewel,
for gold is like sand compared to her,
and silver is like dull clay.
I love her more than health and beauty.
I love her more than light,
because she is unfailingly radiant.
All good things come to me because of her,
and from her hands come all treasures.
~Wisdom 7-14
The Wisdom scriptures from the Hebrew Bible show a different aspect of the divinity than the scriptures
that focus on god. Wisdom is near to us, is indeed our companion. And she is a woman, the corollary to
the male god of the majority of the texts.
Wisdom's songs are magnificent expressions of the human need to relate to a divine feminine figure. We live
in a world in which we see a continual connection between apparently opposing forces. Ours is not a world of
light alone, nor of male alone. We must have darkness and the feminine, just as we must have winter as well
as summer, death as well as life. We cannot truly conceive of one without the other. Thus whenever a religion
has emphasized a singular male god, another figure has emerged to create balance. Wisdom is as necessary
to the Bible as Jehovah is. She, the mother of our souls, is as necessary to us as the father.
