leap years
If the death is during an intercalary month, when is the anniversary? —Tamfang (talk) 00:11, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

There are customs to observe it in either month, and even a custom to always observe it in both months in such case. Drsruli (talk) 07:02, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

History
Could the custom have originated from Roman Lychnapsia? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:16, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Why do you think so? (Lighting lamps for various significance is common to many cultures, I think.) Drsruli (talk) 07:05, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
