I'm trying to identify a religion from clues
A friend of my kid in school participates in a religion that does not celebrate typical religious holidays (Easter, Christmas...) in fact she does not participate when the rest of the class would do something religious based. Her teacher was great and only mentions the secular aspects of those seasons instead of holidays so the kid isn't left out.
She does participate in Thanksgiving (non religious) but not in birthdays although she is allowed to eat cupcakes when it's another child's birthday. The only other thing they celebrate are "feasts" as she calls them that are scattered throughout the year. Some of these are multi day observances. She told me today that there is another feast tomorrow, April 7th. If it matters, the kid is caucasian and doesn't appear to be of anything other than European origin with no accent. She shows no outward signs of any religion (no different dress or religious hair style or religious jewelry).
I don't want to ask and make her feel uncomfortable, and at this point it's strictly to satisfy my curiosity since I thought I was aware of other religions more than I apparently am.
