Whether through firelit gatherings on Celtic hills, incense-filled temples of Babylon, or vibrant streets during Holi and Nowruz, these celebrations from 2,500 years ago still whisper to us today. They tell us stories of joy, fear, hope, and renewal—universal emotions that unite all people, across all time. So the next time you join a celebration—ancient or modern—pause for a moment. You are part of a tradition far older than you can imagine, one that has survived empires, languages, and time itself.
