To be honest, I wouldn't know what's right or wrong with what you tell me--unless I look it up in the Library.
But nowhere else have I seen or heard anything about there being a religious basis to this holiday. Although, from what you say--and some of my own experiences back home concerning legends--I believe you. Especially in light of the name of the holiday having his name in it.
Plus, we have festivals like that back home that honor our gods and goddesses--and that I can understand.
Though...it sounds like that once again, someone sacrificed something for the benefit of others....
