The Queen's Official Birthday (King's Official Bi rthday in the reign of a male monarch) is the selected day on which the birthday of the monarch of the Commonwealth realms (currentl y Queen Elizabeth II) is officially celebrated in those countries and in Fiji, which is now a rep ublic. The date varies as adopted by each Commonwealth country, but is generally around the end of May to the start of June, to coincide with a hi gh probability of fine weather in the Northern Hemisphere f or outdoor ceremonies.
The sovereign's birthday was first officially marked in the United Kingdom in 1748. Since then, the date of the king or q ueen's birthday has been determined throughout the British Empire and later the Commonwealth according to either different royal proclamations i ssued by the sovereign or governor or by statute laws passed by the local p arliament. The exact date of the celebration today varies from country to c ountry and except by coincidence does not fall on the day of the monarch's actual bir thday (that of the present monarch being 21 April[1]). In some cases, it is an official public holiday, sometimes coinciding with the celebration of other events. Most Commonwealth realms release a Birthday Honours List at this time.

Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia de
claring the United States independent from Great Britain.[4][5] After voting for independence,

Through their work they influenced the cu ltural development of all Slavs, for which they received the title "Apos tles to the Slavs". They are credited with devising the Gla golitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe Old Church Slavonic.[11] After their deaths, their pupils continued t heir missionary work among other Slavs. Both brothers are venerated in the Orthodox Church as saints with the title of "equ al-to-apostles". In 1880, Pope Leo XIII introduced their feast into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron s aints of Europe, together with Benedict of Nursia. [12]
The two brothers were born i
n
Thessaloniki – Cyril in 827–828 and Methodius in 815–
820. Cyril was reputedly the youngest of seven brothers; he was born Consta
ntine,[13] but took the name Cyril upon becoming a monk shortly before
his death,[14[16] according to the "Vita Cyrilli" ("The Life of Cyril"). Their father was Leo, a droungarios of the

He is famed for having been burned at the stake for heresy against the doctrines of the Catholi c Church, including those on ecclesiology, the Eucharist, and other theol ogical topics. Hus was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century, and his teachings had a strong influence on the states o f Europe, most immediately in the approval for the existence of a reformist Bohemian religious denomination, and, more than a ce ntury later, on Martin Luther himself.[1]

While its most famous event is the encierro , or the running of the bulls, which happens at 8:00 am f rom July 7th to July 14th, the week long celebration involves many other tr aditional and folkloric events.

It has become probably the most internat ionally renowned fiesta in Spain. Over 1,000,000 people come to watch this festiv al.
Ferm in is said to have been the son of a Roman of senatorial rank in Pamplona in the 3rd centu ry, who was converted to Christianity by Saint Honestus, a disciple o f Saint Sa turninus. According to tradition, he was baptised by Saturninus (in Nav arre also known as Saint Cernin) at the spot now known as the "Small Well o f Saint Cernin" [2][3] Fermin was ordained a priest in Toulouse and returned to Pamplona as its first bishop. On a later preaching voyage, Fer min was beheaded in Amiens, France; and is now considered a martyr in the Catholic Church .[3 ] It is believed he died on September 25, AD 303. Th ere is no written record of veneration in Pamplona of the Saint until the 1 2th century. Saint Fermin, as well as Saint Francis Xavier, are now t he two patrons of Navarre.[3] At Pamplona, Saint Fermin; is now sometimes said to have met his end by being dragged through the stre ets of Pamplona by bulls, a fate more commonly attributed to his mentor, Saturnin.

The battle, won by W illiam, was a turning point in James' unsuccessful at tempt to regain the crown and ultimately helped ensure the continuation of Protestant supremacy in Ireland.

It is a civic holiday in Slovenia (since the Reformation contributed to its cultural development profoundly, although Slovenes are mainly Roman Catholics) and in the Germa n states of Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. It is also a national holiday in Chile since 2008.
In the United States churches
often transfer the holiday, so that it falls on the Sunday (called Refo

All Saints' Day (in the Roman Catholic Church officially the Solemnity of All Saints and also called All Hall ows or Hallowmas[3] ), often shortened to All Saints, is a solemnity celebr ated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. In the Western calendar it is the day after Halloween and the day before All Souls' Day.
In Western Christian theology, the d ay commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countr ies. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the n ext day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet be en purif ied and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and Al l Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spir itual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Churc h Suffering'), those in heaven (the 'church triumphant'), and the living (the 'church mili tant'). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Met hodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians a nd therefore, on All Saint's Day, the Church Univ ersal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honoured and remembered.[2][4]

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Day, Bonfire Night and Firework Night, is an annual commemorati on observed on 5 November, primarily in England. Its history begins wi th the events of 5 November 1605, when Guy Fawkes, a member of the Gun powder Plot, was arrested while guarding explosives the plotters had pl aced beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life, people lit bonfires around London, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure.< /p>
Within a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day, as it was known, became t he predominant English state commemoration, but as it carried strong religi ous overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans deliver ed sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery, while durin g increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figure s, such as the pop e. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children beggi ng for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually beca me known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scen es of increasingly violent class-based confrontations, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attit udes eventually resulted in the toning down of much of the day's anti-Catho lic rhetoric, and in 1859 the original 1606 legislation was repealed. Event ually, the violence was dealt with, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at l arge organised events, centred around a bonfire and extravagant f irework displays.

Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان Ramaḍān, IPA: [rɑmɑˈdˤɑːn]; variationsPersian: Ramazan) is the ninth month of t he Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 or 30 days. It is the Islamic month of fasting, in whic h participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, smoking and sex during daylight hours and is intended to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Muslims fast for the sake of God (Arabic: الله, trans: Allah) and to offer mor e prayer than usual. Compared to the solar cale ndar, the dates of Ramadan vary, moving backwards by about eleven days each year depending on the moon; thus, a person will have fasted ever y day of the Gregorian calendar year in 34 years' time. Muslims believe Ram adan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, bei ng the month in which the first verses of the Qur'an were revea led to the Islamic prophet, Muhammad.
The w
ord Ramadan is derived from an Arabic root R-
M-Ḍ, as in words like "ramiḍa" or "ar-ramaḍ" denoting intense heat,
scorched ground and shortness of rations. Ramadan, as a name for the month
, is of Islamic origin. Prior to Islam and the exclusion of intercalary days from the Islamic calendar, the name of the
month was Natiq and the month fell in the warm season.[2] The word was thus chosen as it we
ll represented the original climate of the month and the physiological cond
itions precipitated from fasting. In the Qur'an, God proclaims that "fasting has been writt
en down (as obligatory) upon you, as it was upon those before you". Accordi
ng to a hadith
, this might refer to the Jewish practice of fasting on Yom Kippur.[3]
Shrove Monday, sometimes known as Collop Monday, Rose Monday, Merry Monday or Hall Monday, is the M onday before Ash Wednesday each/every year. A part of the English tradi tional Shrovetide celebrations of the week before Lent, the Monday prec edes Shrove Tuesday. As the Monday before Ash Wednesday, it is part o f diverse Carnival celebrations which take place in many parts of the Christian w orld, from Greece, to Germany, to the Mardi Gras and Carnival of the Americas .
The word shrove is the past tense of the English verb shr ive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of Confession and doing penance. Thus S hrovetide gets its name from the shriving that English Christians were expe cted to do prior to receiving absolution immediately before Lent begins. Sh rove Tuesday is the last day of "shrovetide", somewhat analogous to the Carnival tradition that developed separately in countries of Latin Europe. The term "Shrove Monday" or "Shrove Tuesday" are no longer widely used in t he United States outside of Liturgical Traditions, such as the Lutheran, Ep iscopal, and Roman Catholic Churches.[1][2< span>]

In 1915, Germany occupied Lithuania as its troops marched towards Russia. After the Russian Revolution in 1917, opportunities for independence opened up. Germany, avoiding direct annexation, tried to find a middle pat h that would involve some kind of union with Germany.[2] In the light of upcoming peace negotiations with Russia, the Germans agreed to allow the Vilnius Conference, hoping that it would proclaim that the Lithu anian nation wanted to be detached from Russia and wished for a closer rela tionship with Germany.[3] However, the conference, held between Septem ber 18 and 23, 1917, adopted a resolution that an independent Lithuania sho uld be established and that a closer relationship with Germany would depend on whether it recognized the new state.[3] On September 21, the atten dees at the conference elected a 20-member Council of Lithuania to establis h this resolution. The German authorities did not allow that resolution to be published, but they did permit the council to proceed.[3] The autho rities censored the Council's newspaper, Lietuvos aidas (Ec ho of Lithuania), preventing the Council from reaching a wider public a udience.[1] The Vilnius Conference also resolved that a co nstituent assembly should be elected by popular vote as soon as possible.

very year.[1] In different regions the focus of the celebrations r
anges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards wo
men to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievement
s. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the cultu
re of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavou
r, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in
a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and Valentin
e's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human ri
ghts theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and politica
l and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out
and examined in a hopeful manner.
The first national Women's D
ay was observed on 28 February 1909 in the United States following a declar
ation by the Socialist Party of America.[1] In August 1910, an International Women's Conference was organized t
o precede the general meeting of the Socialist Second Interna
tional in Copenhagen. Inspired in part by the American socialists, German
Socialist Luise Zietz proposed the establishment of an annual 'Internation
al Woman's Day' (singular) and was seconded by communist Clar
a Zetkin, although no date was specified at that conference.[2]<
/a> Delegates (100 women from 17 countries) agreed with the idea as a
strategy to promote equal rights, including suffrage, for women.[3] T
he following year, on 18 March, 1911, IWD was marked for the first time, by
over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. In the Austro-Hungarian Empire
alone, there were 300 demonstrations.[2] In Vienna, women
paraded on the Ringstrasse and carried banners honouri
ng the martyrs of the Paris Commune.[2] Women demanded
that women be given the right to vote and to hold public office. They also
protested against employment sex discrimination.[1] Americans con
tinued to celebrate National Women's Day on the last Sunday in February.
Commonwealth Day is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations held on the second Monday in March, and marked by a multi-faith service in Westminster Abbey , normally attended by HM Queen Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth, with the Commonwealth Secretary-General and Common wealth High Commissioners in London.

In the year before the qu adrennial Commonwealth Games, the Queen starts the Queen's Baton Relay on Commonwealth Day at Buckingham Palac e, handing the baton to the first relay runner to start a journey that will end at the Opening Ceremony of the upcoming Games.

The Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuani a or Act of March 11 (Lithuanian: Aktas dėl Lietuvos nepriklausomos valstybės at statymo) was an independence declaration by the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic adop ted on March 11, 1990. Signed by all members of the Supreme Soviet of the Lithuanian S SR, the act emphasized restoration and legal continuity of the interwar-period Lithuania, which was occupied by the USSR and lost independence in June 1940. It was the first time that a Union Republic declared independence from the dissolving Soviet Union.
After the partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century, Lithuania was part of the Russian Empire. In the af termath of the Russian Revolu tion of 1917, the Council of Lithuania, chaired by Jonas Basanavičius, proclaimed the Act of Independence of Lithuania on February 1 6, 1918. Lithuania enjoyed independence for two decades. In August 1939, Sovi et Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact dividing Eastern Europe into spheres of influence. The Baltic states (Li thuania, Latvia, and Estonia) were assigned to Russia and subsequently were occupied in June 1940 and converted into soviet socialis t republics. The Soviet authorities undertook Sovietization policies: nationalization of all private property, collectivization of agricu lture, suppression of the Catholic Church, and imposition of totali tarian control. The armed anti-Soviet partisans were liqu idated by 1953. Approximately 130,000 Lithuanians, dubbed "enemies of the people", were deported into Siberia (see June deportation and March depor tation). After the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, Soviet Union ado pted de-Stalinization policies and ended mass persecutions. Nonvi olent resistance continued both in Lithuania and among Lithuanian diaspora. These movements were secret, illegal, and more focused on social issues, h uman rights, and cultural affairs rather than political demands.

There are some differences in the timing of Lent (besid es calculating the date of Easter) and how it is practiced, both liturgical ly in the public worship of the church and individually.
One differen ce between Eastern Christianity and Western Christianity is the calculation of the date of Easter (see Computus). Most years, the Eastern Pascha falls after the Western Easter, and it may be as much as five weeks later; occasionall y, the two dates coincide. Like Western Lent, Great Lent itself lasts for forty days, but unlike the West, Sundays are included in the count. Great Lent officially begins on Clean Monday, seven weeks before Pascha (Ash Wednesday is n ot observed in Eastern Christianity) and runs for 40 contiguous days, concl uding with the Presanctified Liturgy on Friday of the Sixth Week. The next day is called Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in rel ation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[8] Ecclesiastically, th e equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, as tronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is n ot necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefor e varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity< /a> bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March co rresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian c alendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

May Day is related to the Celtic festival of < a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltane" title="Beltane">Beltane a nd the Germanic festival of Walpurgis Night. May Day fall s exactly half a year from November 1, another cross-quarter day which is also associated with various northern Europe an pagan and neopagan festivals such as Samhain. May Day marks the en d of the unfarmable winter half of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for popular and often raucous celebr ations. As Europe became Christianized the pagan holidays lost their religious ch aracter and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May D ay, or were merged with or replaced by new Christian holiday s as with Christmas, Easter, Pentecost and All Saint's Day. In the twentieth century, many neopagans began reconstruct ing the old traditions and celebrating May Day as a pagan religious festiva l again.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in rel ation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[8] Ecclesiastically, th e equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, as tronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is n ot necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefor e varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity< /a> bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March co rresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian c alendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

The Declaration stated that, although Latvia had de facto lost its independence in 1940, when it was annexed by the Soviet Union, the country had de jure remained a sovereign country as the annexation had been unconstitutional and against the will of the peopl e of Latvia. Therefore it resolved that the M olotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940 were illegal, and annulled the declaration on the accession of Latvia to the Soviet Union of 21 July 1940, re-instituted the Constitution of Latvia of 1922, wh ich was thereupon partly suspended, and set a period of transition to de facto independence, which would end upon the first session of Saeima.

It was provided that a committee to elaborate a new e dition of the Constitution of Latvia should be create d.

In its beginning the Decl aration establishes several historical facts and on the basis of these fact s concludes that the Republic of Latvia de jure is a sovereign count ry. It observes that the Republic of Latvia proclaimed independence on 18 N ovember 1918, and was internationally recognized in 1920, and that Latvia w as admitted to membership in the League of Nations in 1921.[3] The first country to recogni ze the independence of Latvia de jure was Soviet Russia on 11 August 1920, wh en the Soviet-Latvian Peace treaty was signed (it is generally considered t hat the independence of Latvia de jure was internationally recognize d on 26 January 1921, when it was recognized by the Allies of World War I).< a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Restoration_of_Independence_of_ the_Republic_of_Latvia#cite_note-Freibergs_J.-3">[4][5] The declaration notes that in April 1920 the Latvian nation followed the principle of self-determination by electing a Constitutional Assembly of Latvia, which adopted the Constitution of Latvia on 15 February 1922, in general, equal and dir ect elections, based on proportional representa tion.[3]

Whit Monday or Pentecost Monday (also known a s Monday of the Holy Spirit) is the holiday celebrated the day after Pentecost, a movable feast in the Christian calendar. It is movabl e because it is determined by the date of Easter.
Whit Monday gets its English name for following "Whitsun", the day that became one of the three baptismal seasons. The o rigin of the name "Whit Sunday" is generally attributed to the white garmen ts formerly worn by those newly baptized on this feast.

There is no au tomatic right to time off on these days, although the majority of the popul ation is granted time off work or extra pay for working on these days, depe nding on their contract.[1]< /span> The first official bank holidays were the four days named in the Bank Holidays Act 1871, but today the term is colloquially (albeit incorrectly) used for public holidays which are not of ficially bank holidays, for example Good Friday and Chr istmas Day.
Prior to 1834, the Bank of England observed a bout thirty-three saints' days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was reduced to just four: 1 May (May Day), 1 November (All Saints Day), Good Friday, and Christmas Da y. In 1871, the first legislation relating to bank holidays was passed when Liberal politician and banker Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holidays Act 1871, which specified the days in the table set out below.[2] The English people were so thankful that they called the first Bank Holidays St Lubbock's Days for a while.[3] Scotland was treated separatel y because of its separate traditions; for example, New Year is a more impor tant holiday there.[ citation needed]
