Upside Down & Backwards

While over-thinking the entire sado-masochistic Easter mess it occurred to us that south of the equator the Xian festival of rebirth (Completely different & has nothing to do w/ any other supernatural scams' spring fests!) is celebrated in the fall, the season of dying & death. Is Xianity designed only for those in the more populous hemisphere, even 'though whatever increase in suckers Catholics & other denominations are enjoying is mostly in the global south?

Or is it actually more appropriate for a death-fetishizing faith tradition that pretends no one really dies to observe "rebirth" even as the leaves are falling from the trees?

  1. You have to occupy the right festivals. I'm sure there are some southern rituals to co-opt.
