Which one?  Why, Pesach Sheni, the unknown holiday.  The holiday of sufferers, those who were tameh or otherwise unable to properly celebrate Pesach – when a proper celebration included animal sacrifice.  The holiday, as unfortunate as those for whom it was created, has lost its relevance and no modern observances (though some eat matzah as a customary nod).

You’d think we could at least get haircuts, but Lag Ba’Omer is four days away, anyway.
