New Year's Day Introduction
New Year's Day falls on 1 January and opens the Gregorian calendar year. Most countries mark it with a public holiday, and celebrations usually begin the night before with countdowns, fireworks and gatherings. The date was fixed in its current position by Julius Caesar's calendar reform, and later preserved by the Gregorian reform of 1582. traditions vary widely, from first-footing in Scotland to writing resolutions for the months ahead.
Children's Day Introduction
Children's Day celebrates children and promotes their welfare and rights. The date varies considerably: 1 June in many former Soviet and Eastern European countries, 20 November in others following the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child, and different national dates elsewhere. In several countries it is a public holiday. Schools, families and communities hold events, and children receive gifts and special attention.
Maundy Thursday Introduction
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. It is a public holiday in many countries with Catholic or Orthodox traditions, particularly in Latin America, Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. The name is commonly linked to the ceremonial washing of feet, and to the antiphon mandatum novum, a new commandment. Church services often include the rite of foot washing.
Good Friday Introduction
Good Friday is the Friday before Easter and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a public holiday in most countries with Christian traditions, and businesses, banks and schools often close. Observance is typically solemn, with church services, processions and in some places Passion plays. The date moves each year because Easter is calculated from the first full moon following the March equinox.
International Workers' Day Introduction
International Workers' Day, also known as May Day, is observed on 1 May in most countries of the world. It originated in the campaign for an eight hour working day and commemorates the Haymarket affair in Chicago in 1886. It became an official holiday across Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa during the twentieth century. Observances typically combine trade union marches and rallies with springtime festivities.
