| Pagan prisoners given time off to worship the Sun God |
| 2010-12-06 |
| Hundreds of criminals are to be given four days a year off prison work - to celebrate pagan festivals. Prison governors have been issued with a list of eight annual pagan holidays and told pagan inmates can choose four to celebrate. The festivals include Imbolc - The Festival of the Lactating Sheep - which falls on February 1 and is dedicated to the goddess Brighid. |

| #3 Imbolc - The Festival of the Lactating Sheep Someone, somewhere, is having his little joke. Bot to mention, ick. Beyond eating Greek salads, my imagination fails about how to celebrate such a holiday. |

| #1 So, what are they gonna do if some "pagan" says that his/her festivals aren't listed (as in, for example, they worship Norse or Egyptian deities, which AFAIK don't have lactating sheep)? |
