Incidentally, this date coincided with the Roman festival of Lemuria, held on May 9, 11, and 13 to placate the souls of the dead and prevent them from haunting and injuring relatives.
Juhuslikult sattus see päev samale päevale Rooma Lemuria pidustustega, mida peeti 9., 11. ja 13. mail, lepitamaks surnute hingi, et nad ei kummitaks ega teeks kahju oma sugulastele.
