9th of Av starts August 4 and ends August 5th at sundown

Just read where this is also Obama's birthday. UGH

If you're religious the 4th is also the Virgin Mary's birthday, apparently!

Nothing good ever happened to Israel on the 9th AV.

Nice to see some August doom dates lined up.

Well at least some know the importance of the 9th of Av. Keep praying!

August 4th is a very bad day.

Always will be.

I hate August 4th.

Just to remind folks to pray that these days will be calm. Pray for the whole world. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

No, according to messages from the Blessed Mother to the kids (now adults!) in Medjugorje, her real birthday is on August 5th even though the church celebrates her Immaculate Conception on December 8th. She points to her Son throughout all this, not birthday balloons, ha!!
