Featured Article: Synoptic Gospels

Relationship between synoptic gospels-en.png
The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording. They stand in contrast to John, whose content is largely distinct. This strong parallelism among the three gospels in content, arrangement, and specific language is widely attributed by Biblical scholars to literary interdependence.

Popular Article: Beltane

Beltane Fire Festival, Calton Hill, Edinburgh
Beltane is an ancient Gaelic festival, historically celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man, with similar festivals held in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany, and Cornwall. It is one of four Gaelic seasonal festivals: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh, of which Beltane (the beginning of summer) and Samhain (the beginning of winter) are thought to have been the most important. The festival has experienced a degree of revival since the late twentieth century.
