Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What country is home to the spring festival called "Holi"? "

...

Holi is a Hindu spring festival celebrated in India and Nepal, also known as the "festival of colors" or the "festival of love". The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. It is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest. It lasts for a night and a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Vikram Samvat Hindu Calendar month of Phalgun, which falls somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather, perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi – a free-for-all festival of colors, where people smear each other with colors and drench each other. Water guns and water-filled balloons are also used to play and color each other.

Holi is an important spring festival for Hindus, a national holiday in India, a regional holiday in Nepal and other countries. The festival of Holi caught the fascination of European traders and British colonial staff by the 17th century. Various old editions of Oxford English Dictionary mention it.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " Which plant is in the picture? "

...

Helianthus annuus, the common sunflower, is a large annual forb of the genus Helianthus grown as a crop for its edible oil and edible fruits. This sunflower species is also used as wild bird food, as livestock forage (as a meal or a silage plant), in some industrial applications, and as an ornamental in domestic gardens. The plant was first domesticated in the Americas. Wild Helianthus annuus is a widely branched annual plant with many flower heads. The domestic sunflower, however, often possesses only a single large inflorescence (flower head) atop an unbranched stem. The name sunflower may derive from the flower's head's shape, which resembles the sun.

Sunflower seeds were brought to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, where, along with sunflower oil, they became a widespread cooking ingredient.

[Answer] In the New Testament of the King James Bible, all but three books end with what word?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " In the New Testament of the King James Bible, all but three books end with what word? "

...

The New Testament is the second major part of the Christian biblical canon, the first part being the Old Testament, based on the Hebrew Bible. The New Testament discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as events in first-century Christianity. Christians regard both the Old and New Testaments together as sacred scripture. The New Testament (in whole or in part) has frequently accompanied the spread of Christianity around the world. It reflects and serves as a source for Christian theology and morality. The New Testament has influenced religious, philosophical, and political movements in Christendom and left an indelible mark on literature, art, and music.

Which books end with “amen?” The answer is a surprise. It depends on the translation. Here is a list of those books that end in “amen” by translation. “Amen” occurs at the end of only six books in the New American Standard Bible. If we look at the New King James Version Bible, we find that “amen” occurs at the end of most of the books because it follows a different Greek text. At the end of Philippians, the New International Version adds the statement, “Some manuscripts do not have Amen.” This is what we are seeing. Different translations are following different Greek texts. The fact that there are such slight changes is insignificant. You may wish to read a study on the accuracy of our translations.
