today is an islamic holiday

called Isra and Mi'raj,


i linked it to Wikipedia if you want to learn more.  it involves a winged horse!  from what i understand it is more a holiday of prayer and focuses on passing the history down to the children.  here is an excerpt from the wiki article that i found to be universal under the context of any religion.  sound thought for anyone, especially these days.

"Esoteric interpretations of Islam emphasise the spiritual significance of Mi'raj, seeing it as a symbol of the soul’s journey and the potential of humans to rise above the comforts of material life through prayer, piety and discipline."
