PROBLEM: The service that concludes this celebration is known as Neilah [NAY-ee-luh] and most wear white during it. Ritual slaughter of a rooster often occurs during this holiday.

Beginning on the tenth day of Tishri, five days before Sukkot, it also includes the Amidah prayer, which expresses communal responsibility for sins committed previously. Not allowing work or consumption of food for 25 hours, for ten points, name this day of atonement, perhaps the most important Jewish holiday.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: In one story, this man saved the town of Gubbio by making a pact with an attacking wolf. After spending time as a Perugian captive, he saw a vision of a hall full of cross-marked armor, which encouraged him to travel to Apulia. After 40 days' fasting on the mountain La Verna, he saw a six-winged seraph, after which he received the stigmata, according to his namesake Fioretti. He praised Sister Death, Brother Fire, and Brother Moon in his Canticle of the Sun, and was credited with inventing the Nativity creche scene.
