I love it!

I wonder why the sabbath lammas is named lammas because in Finnish it means a sheep.... and that day there was something to do with christians and sheep.... I mean for christians there was a sheap or something O.ó I dont remember well.

nekom,

do you mean Llamas and alpacas ? we also spell sheep as sheep not sheap

Lammas, also called Lughnasadh, falls at the beginning of the harvest season

The word Lammas is thought to have been a mispronunciation of the word Loafmass.

sorry i spelled the word sheep wrong once. (so: sheap = sheep)
I know that the sabbath has another name also. its just an interesting fact.

I mean "lammas" means a sheep in the Finnish language.
