Satan urinates on blackberries, Scotland
Yesterday was the last day for picking blackberries because the devil poisons them today by urinating on them (Old Michaelmas Day, October 11, in parts of England).
Fourth Friday in September: Native American Day (USA)
“This day is set aside to honor and celebrate Native Americans, the first Americans to live in the U.S. Still commonly referred to as American Indians, the term "Native Americans" has been used in recent years as a sign of respect and recognition that they were indeed the first people to populate our wonderful nation. By the time the first explorers and settlers arrived from Europe, Native Americans had populated the entire North American Continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf of Mexico all the way to the northern reaches of Canada.” Source
70 CE Jerusalem fell to the legions of Roman Emperor Vespasian (Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, November 18, 9 CE - June 23, 79), under Titus, ending the Jewish War, despite the besieged fortress of Masada holding out for another three years. After the sacking of Jerusalem, all that remained was the Wailing Wall.
1580 Francis Drake completed the first round-the-world voyage by an Englishman, in the Golden Hind, bringing treasure and spices back to England. (Some sources say September 20.)
“Elizabeth Sydenham, wife of Sir Francis Drake, advised that her husband had been killed by the Spaniards, was on her way to marry another man when a bolt of lightning struck the ground at her very feet. Elizabeth interpreted it as a sign that her husband was still alive and called off the wedding. Later Sir Francis returned from his naval expedition ...alive and well.” Source
1824 Kapiolani defies Pele (Hawaiian volcano goddess) and lives.
Hawaiian legends tell that eruptions were caused by Pele, the beautiful but tempestuous Goddess of Volcanoes, during her frequent moments of anger. Pele was both revered and feared; her immense power and many adventures figured prominently in ancient Hawaiian songs and chants. She could cause earthquakes by stamping her feet and volcanic eruptions and fiery devastation by digging with the Pa'oe, her magic stick. An oft-told legend describes the long and bitter quarrel between Pele and her older sister Namakaokahai that led to the creation of the chain of volcanoes that form the islands.
