January 1 New Years Day

An international celebration celebrating the first day of the gregorian calendar and marks
traditional end of the holiday season
Father Time is a mythical personification of time. He is usually depicted as an elderly bearded
man, dressed in a robe, carrying an hourglass or other timekeeping device (representing time's
constant movement).
In various New Year's Eve customs, Father Time's image is used as the personification of the
previous year (or "the Old Year"), who "hands over" the duties of time to the Baby New Year (or
"the New Year"). In this case, his old age is emphasized (in particular, he may be depicted
walking with the aid of a stick).
Champagne toast at midnight, New Years resolutions, and fireworks are traditional activities.

As the official title of the federal holiday, Washington's Birthday was originally implemented by the federal
government in 1880 in the District of Columbia and expanded in 1885 to include all federal offices. As the
first federal holiday to honor an American-born citizen, the holiday was celebrated on Washington's birthday,
February 22. In 1971 the federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday in February.
The theme has expanded the focus of the holiday to honor another February President Abraham Lincoln and
often other Presidents of the United States as well. Lincoln's birthday is February 12 and although it was

The History of Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras came to New Orleans through its French heritage in 1699. Early explorers
celebrated this French Holiday on the banks of the Mississippi River. Throughout the years, Orleanians
have added to the celebration by establishing krewes (organizations) which host parades and balls.
Carnival quickly became an exciting holiday for both children and adults.
Mardi Gras means "Fat Tuesday" and of course is celebrated on that day of the week. The date
can fall between February 3 and March 9 depending on the Lunar calendar, used by the Catholic
Church to determine the date of Easter. Mardi Gras is always 47 days before Easter Sunday.
The official colors for Mardi Gras are purple, green, and gold. These colors were chosen in 1872
by the King of Carnival, Rex. He chose these colors to stand for the following:
Purple represents justice
green stands for faith
gold stands for power
The Mardi Gras season begins on January 6 and continues until Fat Tuesday, the day before
Ash Wednesday. On the Christian calendar, the twelfth day after Christmas is known as "Epiphany",
"Twelfth Night", or "Kings Day." It is the day the gift-bearing Magi visited the baby Jesus, and is
celebrated with its own unique rituals.

The History of St. Patricks Day
On St. Patrick's Day there are many different customs that people do. One of the most widely known
customs is to wear green. One famous saying is that on St. Patrick's Day everybody is Irish.
Every year on March 17 more than 100 U.S. cities have a parade for this festive holiday. The largest
parade is held in New York City. Another custom takes place in Chicago. The custom is dyeing the
Chicago River green. The tradition started in 1962 when some city pollution control workers used dye
to trace some illegal sewage discharge and realized that the green dye might provide a unique way to
celebrate St. Patrick's Day. On that year they released 100 pounds of green vegetable dye into the river.
That much dye made the river green for a whole week. Today only 40 pounds are used so the river
stays green for several hours.
Another custom is that people dress in green and wear shamrocks.
Drinking green beer and reciting Old Irish Blessings are also very popular on St. Patricks Day

Traditions associated with the holiday is the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in colored easter eggs, originally
painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, and used in Easter-egg contests.
The Christian celebration of Easter embodies a number of converging traditions with emphasis on the relation of Easter
to the Jewish festival of Passover, another name used by Europeans for Easter. Passover is an important feast in the Jewish
calendar which is celebrated for 8 days and commemorates the flight and freedom of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt
The early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin, were brought up in the Hebrew tradition and regarded Easter
as a new feature of the Passover festival, a commemoration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets.
Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the
spring equinox (March 21). So Easter became a "movable" feast which can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25
Easter is at the end of the Lenten season, which covers a forty-six-day period that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends
with Easter. The Lenten season itself comprises forty days, as the six Sundays in Lent are not actually a part of Lent.
Sundays are considered a commemoration of Easter Sunday and have always been excluded from the Lenten fast. The
Lenten season is a period of penitence in preparation for the highest festival of the church year, Easter
Holy Week, the last week of Lent, begins its with the observance of Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday takes its name from
Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem where the crowds laid palms at his feet. Holy Thursday commemorates the Last
Supper, which was held the evening before the Crucifixion. Friday in Holy Week is the anniversary of the Crufixion, the day
that Christ was crucified and died on the cross
Holy week and the Lenten season end with Easter Sunday, the day of resurrection of Jesus Christ

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (most recently
observed May 29, 2006). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men
and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died
during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or
military action. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been
held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. In addition to remembrance, Memorial Day is also a time
for picnics, family gatherings, and sporting events. Some Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial
beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

The origins of the American Labor Day can be traced back to the Knights of Labor in the United States and a
parade organized by them on September 5, 1882 in New York City. In 1884 another parade was held, and the
Knights passed resolutions to make this an annual event.
Labor Day has been celebrated on the first Monday in September in the United States since the 1880s.
Labor Day is generally regarded simply as a day of rest and, forms of celebration include picnics, barbecues,
fireworks displays, water activities, and public art events. Families with school-age children take it as the last
chance to travel before the end of summer. Some teenagers and young adults view it as the last weekend for
parties before returning to school.

Columbus Day
Columbus Day falls officially on October 12 and is celebrated on the 2nd Monday in October. The first
recorded celebration of Columbus Day in the USA was held by the Tammany Society, also known as the
Colombian Order, in New York on October 12, 1792, marking the 300th anniversary of Columbus's landing
in the Bahamas.
Many Italian-Americans observe Columbus Day as a celebration of Italian-American heritage. The first state
celebration was in Colorado in 1905, and in 1937, at the behest of the Knights of Columbus (a Catholic
fraternal service organization named for the voyager), President Franklin Delano Roosevelt set aside
Columbus Day as a holiday in the United States. Since 1971, the holiday has been commemorated in the U.S.
on the second Monday in October. Some Italian-Americans feel pride in the day due to the fact that
Christopher Columbus, an Italian sailor, sailed to the Americas. To some, it is awkward that ItalianAmericans celebrate the day since Columbus did sail to the Americas under the name of Spain and not Italy.

October

Halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands of years. The holiday we know as Halloween
has had many influences from many cultures over the centuries.
On October 31st after the crops were all harvested
and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished. The Druids, the Celtic priests, would
meet in the hilltop in the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred). The Druids would light new fires and offer
sacrifices of crops and animals. As they danced around the the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness
would begin.
When the morning arrived the Druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them
home to start new cooking fires. These fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.
The November 1st festival was called Samhain (pronounced "sow-en"). The festival would last for 3 days. Many
people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals. This festival would become the first
Halloween.
During the first century the Romans invaded Britain. They brought with them many of their festivals and customs. One of
these was the festival know as Pomona Day, named for their goddess of fruits and gardens. It was also celebrated around the
1st of November. After hundreds of years of Roman rule the customs of the Celtic's Samhain festival and the Roman
Pomona Day mixed becoming 1 major fall holiday.
The next influence came with the spread of the new Christian religion throughout Europe and Britain. In the year
835 AD the Roman Catholic Church would make November 1st a church holiday to honor all the saints. This day was called
All Saint's Day, or Hallowmas, or All Hallows. Years later the Church would make November 2nd a holy day. It was called
All Souls Day and was to honor the dead. It was celebrated with big bonfires, parades, and people dressing up as saints,
angels and devils.
But the spread of Christianity did not make people forget their early customs. On the eve of All Hallows, Oct. 31, people
continued to celebrate the festivals of Samhain and Pomona Day. Over the years the customs from all these holidays mixed.
October 31st became known as All Hallow Even, eventually All Hallow's Eve, Hallowe'en, and then - Halloween.
The Halloween we celebrate today includes all of these influences, Pomona Day's apples, nuts, and harvest, the Festival
of Samhain's black cats, magic, evil spirits and death, and the ghosts, skeletons and skulls from All Saint's Day and All

Veterans' Day, formerly called Armistice Day, is the day the United States commemorates the contributions

the First World War. It is celebrated as a federal holiday on 11 November. All major hostilities of World War
I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of
the Armistice. Armistice Day was first commemorated in the United States by President Wilson in 1919, and
many states made it a legal holiday. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 inviting all Americans to observe
the day, and made it a legal holiday nationwide in 1938. The holiday has been observed annually on
November 11 since that date - first as Armistice Day, later as Veterans' Day.

November
In 1621, after a hard and devastating first year in the New World the Pilgrim's fall harvest was very successful and plentiful.
There was corn, fruits, The Pilgrims had beaten the odds. They built homes in the wilderness, they raised enough crops to
keep them alive during the long coming winter, and they were at peace with their Indian neighbors. Their Governor, William
Bradford, proclaimed a day of thanksgiving that was to be shared by all the colonists and the neighboring Native American
Indians.
The custom of an annually celebrated thanksgiving, held after the harvest, continued through the years. During the
American Revolution (late 1770's) a day of national thanksgiving was suggested by the Continental Congress.
In 1817 New York State adopted Thanksgiving Day as an annual custom. By the middle of the 19th century many other
states also celebrated a Thanksgiving Day. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln appointed a national day of thanksgiving.
Since then each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation, usually designating the fourth Thursday of each
November as the holiday.
