Another one of Fathers Holidays?

That is interesting, Rogue! Think you've got something there.

While doing more research, I found another Holiday that was ripped oof by

Christians.
Read this and check that date.

"In ancient Roman religion and mythology, Liber ("the free one"), also known
as
Liber Pater ("the free Father") was a god of viniculture and wine, fertility
and
freedom. He was a patron deity of Rome's plebeians and was part of their
Aventine Triad. His festival of Liberalia (March 17) became associated with
free
speech and the rights attached to coming of age. His cult and functions
were
increasingly associated with Bacchus and his Greek equivalent Dionysus,
whose
mythologies he came to share.[1]"

So much for the Irish and Saint Patty's Day being the only one of Drunken
Revelry.
