Walpurgis Night
I've seen the Walpurgis Night mentioned in anime like Madoka Magica and Bible Black but never really paid much heed to it. On a whim, I searched it and was shocked to discover it's tomorrow night (April 30). What's more, it's very real, and actually a holiday in Europe. It is the spring time parallel to Halloween:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walpurgis_Night Like Christmas, the modern holiday is a blend of paganism and Christianity, where Christian elements encroached on a long-practiced pagan tradition. But there's some Faust thrown in there as well, complicating things. Now that I think about it, April is as big a month as October/November for the dead rising again. We have Easter earlier in the month (sometimes in March) and Walpurgis Night here at the end.
