Lunar/Seasonal Calendar for 2026

Here are the highlights, followed by the full calendar. Reminders:

Solstices, Full and New Moons last 3 days, but most calendars only list the astronomical or middle date.
Cross-quarter days (Imbolc/etc) predate the Gregorian calendar by many centuries, so their original New and Moons are also listed.
Also included are major Buddhist, Hindu, and Jewish lunar holy days.
