Yes that is right. However, it's good that nobody is affected by it right now, otherwise there would be even more problems.

You shall make yourself the Festival of Sukkoth for seven days, when you gather in [the produce] from your threshing floor and your vat.And you shall rejoice in your Festival-you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, who are within your cities

An odd piece for this board, but while we're here .....

Famed explorer Thor Heyerdahl (sp?) proved decades ago that the heads were the product of a determined but clearly stone-aged people.  Using rope, logs for wheels, and raw manpower, Heyerdahl and some buddies moved a half-finished head from the quarry in Easter Island and erected it alongside all the others.  It was a huge disappointment and embarrassment to all those who insists ed that Easter Island was the product of some unknown space-age culture.

It is possible that Picasso was impressed with these statues.
