August 6 is the anniversary of the last sacrifice offered in the Temple at Jerusalem before its destruction by the Romans in AD 70. The holy fires of the Temple were extinguished.It is also the day on which Catholic, Orthodox and some other Christians celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration. As such, it is a feast of divine light shining out through a human being.
It is also the anniversary of the bomb at Hiroshima.
