astronomy and holy days - Carol - Nov 26, 2016
This is in keeping with the thread about public schools teaching Islam and my idea that all religions should be taught. Away we might approach this is with astronomy and the history of mythology that ties all of us.
I see the link is not working properly, however, if I copy and paste it, it works.
