The nickname dates back to the Roman Empire, believe it or not. The Romans had a pretty interesting timekeeping system, dividing the day into four chunks of three hours beginning at 6 a.m. The ninth hour (3 p.m.) was called None and signaled the start of the last section of the day. Over time, the church rituals that happened at None began earlier and earlier (maybe because monks could end their fasts after those rituals). The rest of the story is pretty murky, but at least partially due to these ever-earlier prayers, “noon” meant “midday” by the middle of the 13th century.

Berlin wall fell and I was there. I even own a copy of Time Magazine from then. I was 8 years old and got out of school because of how powerful a moment it was in history for Germany. I'm German American so I live in both cultures and to say it was unlike anything I have ever experienced is, to put it mildly. For both of my countries to celebrate the end of a horrific chapter in history felt so good. Not to mention members of my German family caught on the other side finally got reunited and we had out first united Garden Pary (Family Reunion) that July and if you could have heard the stories and seen the happiness shared by all it would have made you weep

Mainly it was because when they were handing out potions, medicines, if the patient had a medical reaction to the medicine they could have a chance of catching an illness or at the worst, death. They wore masks to hide identity, so they werent a known man in the area, also so they didnt lose business. Another theory is that they wore the masks because it was widespread that birds spread the plague and if they wore it, this would direct the plague to the mask, away from the victim. Best answer I have thanks.

For some time, including around the time of the Black Plague, the long "beaks" of the bird masks would be stuffed with spices and incense, which was thought to fulfil two purposes - firstly and most importantly, it would cover the stench of death and disease, and some wearers thought that by wearing it they were warding off the diseases.

When Cai was an official, he often went into towns and villages to see how things were going. One day in 92 AD, he visited a silk-making shop and saw that there was a thin white layer of slightly fluffy stuff left on the bamboo mat, which could be used for writing.

He was inspired and began to experiment with various materials such as barks, hemp, cloth, nets, etc., and using various ways, such as boil, soak, pound, etc. to make fiber paper. No doubt, he succeeded.

He documented the process and showed it to the emperor He Di along with a finished product in 105 AD. The emperor was greatly pleased, and the paper was called "Cai Hou Paper" in honor of Cai's contribution. Fine paper officially entered into history.

All on the religion of Atheism! As of 2007 every single item that the Atheists had claimed as their proofs, since they had Lost in the Supreme court in the 1930s was done, by Order. And ALL that the Atheists had used were discovered by scientists to be Fakes! Most of what the Atheists had used as old fossils, turned out to really New Bones and all from already known of animals!

Atheism has been proven and declared to be a "religion with zero honest proofs"! A federal law was soon past that requires Atheism removed from all public schools in the USA~

No, Chinese new year has the same meaning as the international new year on 1st January, but based on a traditional Chinese calender instead of a modern international calendar. So for each year, the Chinese new year dates are different. Chinese New Year is more of a Chinese festival using traditional Chinese customs and beliefs; and not anything directly to do with religious elements. Just take it literally: it is just Chinese's New Year. Other races will have their own New Years using their own traditional calendars i.e. Malays.
