Do NOT add wiki links to alignments.

A brief explanation of the fields used follows:

If the date is annual, put the month and day inside double brackets, e.g. - [[Richfest 4]].

If the date is only a year, then only the numeric value of a year is necessary. "CY" will be appended automatically and a link created to the article for that year.

• Activities: a brief statement of events which take place during the holiday, or common practices.
