Lunar Festival
BIRTHDAY OF LU BAN, a 6th Century C.E. carpenter who became a hermit and learned magic, through which was able to create extraordinary machines and marvelous structures. He has since been deified as the God of Building, overseeing all construction, and is invoked particularly to bless the raising of the roof-beam of a new structure. He is honored also on 12/20 of the lunar year.
