Vykort/Blommor : Introduced by Pope Gelasus in 498, perhaps in response to a local Roman tradition of lovers writing their names on an urn in February

Katolska och protestantiska : Första konciliet i Nicaea (biskopar möte i tidig sortkristendomen) ville hitta en dag att fira korsfästelsen och uppståndelsen av Christ, högtidlighållandet var kopplas till traditionen av de judiska helgdagarna, eftersom den sista måltiden Kristi ansågs vara den judiska påsken. Men den judiska kalendern är baserad på cykler av månen och solen, så högtiden för Herrens Påsk fick samma kalender.

Katolska : Paid holiday

Katolska och protestantiska : Datum för påsken fastställdes under året 325. Denna fest beräknas enligt månkalendern.

Vykort/Blommor : Mother’s day has evolved in many countries in different ways. This is because mother’s day has different origins in different countries and therefore occurs on different days in the year. One school of thought claims that this day emerged from the custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and Rhea, the wife of Cronus, was held on March 15 to March 18 around Asia Minor. They insist that this custom spread around the world. Mothering Sunday is the celebration of motherhood in the United Kingdom. It is also known as Mid-lent Sunday, Rose Sunday and Laetare Sunday. It originally comes from the Victorian practice of allowing servants to return home to visit their mothers on this day. In the United States, Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 - October 17, 1910) was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, and poet. Howe’s Battle Hymn of the Republic was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862 and quickly became one of the most popular songs for the Union during the American Civil War. After the war she focused her activities on the causes of Pacifism and women’s suffrage. In 1870 she was the first to proclaim Mother’s Day, with her Mother’s Day Proclamation.

Vykort/Blommor : Grandson of King Thakombau, the last king of Fiji (until 1874), Mr. Sukuna joined the French Legion during WW1. He was highly honored and even has a monument in Souain-Perthes-les Hurlus (France), as a horseman

Sekulär semester : Ratu Sir Josefa Lalabalavu Vanayaliyali Sukuna KCMG KBE (22 april 1888 – 30 maj 1958) var en fijiansk hövding, lärd, soldat och statsman. Han anses vara föregångaren till Fijis ledarskap efter självständigheten. Han gjorde mer än någon annan för att lägga grunden för självstyre genom att främja utvecklingen av moderna institutioner i Fiji, och även om han dog ett dussin år innan självständigheten från Storbritannien uppnåddes 1970, satte hans vision kursen att Fiji skulle följa under de kommande åren. Ratu är en austronesisk titel som används av manliga fijianer av främst rang. från 2023 [Wikipedia]
