When one contemplates joining a new religion, one must ask oneself the
profound philosophical question: "What days will this get me out of work?" |

| Birthday |
The day of each
member's birth is a holy day and should be spent in contemplation of one's
path in life, prayers of thanksgiving and gathering with family and friends to acknowledge the joy and blessings that they bring to one's life. Exchanging presents and eating cake are good, but should not be the sole focus of this day. |

| Pirate Holiday |
Pirate Holiday is similar to Christmas and is celebrated the day after
Christmas. Pirate Holiday is celebrated with a decorative mast in place of a tree, and gifts in treasure-chest shaped boxes are exchanged. Gifts exchanged on Pirate Holiday are commonly either pirate-themed, or stolen, often from family or friends. |

| The Three Cheeses |
The Three Days of
Cheese are floating holidays that can be taken at any time during the year
when meditation
and reflection become necessary. They may be taken together or separately. The Three Days of Cheese are days to retreat and contemplate the mysteries of existence and one's path through life and to correct one's course if needed. During the Three Days of Cheese, one should partake of calming and grounding experiences, such as trying new cheeses, tasting exotic honeys, taking bubble baths, or spending a day fishing. |

| Halloween |
This holiday is a
time for dressing in costume, trick-or treating and going to parties. Pirate costumes are encouraged, in honor of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Halloween is also a holiday dedicated to exploring the afterlife and attempting to contact departed family and friends. The Church of Icha encourages direct investigation into the nature of reality by way of the Occult and Halloween is the holiday dedicated to this. |
