Day of Felicitas. A festival celebrating the ancient Roman goddess of luck and good fortune was held annually on this date in many parts of Italy. For many Wiccans and modern Witches it is a time for spellcasting and making amulets to attract good luck or to end a streak of bad luck.

On this day an annual good luck festival called Chung Yeung Day ( theFestival of High Places ) is celebrated in China. Traditionally good omen kites are flown to carry away evil spirits. The festival also commemorates an ancient Chinese scholar names Huan Ching who upon heeding the warning of a soothsayer escaped with his family and friends high into the hills and thereby avoided a mysterious plague of death which swept through the village below killing every living thing in sight.
