SUMMARY:New Year’s Day
DESCRIPTION:New Year’s Day is a festival observed in most of the world on 1 January\, the first day of the year in the modern Gregorian calendar. 1 January is also New Year’s Day on the Julian calendar\, but this is not the same day as the Gregorian one. Whilst most solar calendars begin the year regularly at or near the northern winter solstice\, cultures that observe a lunisolar or lunar calendar celebrate their New Year’s Day at less fixed points relative to the solar year. In pre-Christian Rome under the Julian calendar\, the day was dedicated to Janus\, god of gateways and beginnings\, for whom January is also named. From Roman times until the middle of the 18th century\, the new year was celebrated at various stages and in various parts of Christian Europe on 25 December\, on 1 March\, on 25 March and on the movable feast of Easter.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr. Day
DESCRIPTION:Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States marking the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr.. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. Born in 1929\, King’s actual birthday is January 15. The holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. The earliest Monday for this holiday is January 15 and the latest is January 21. King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the Civil Rights Movement\, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King’s honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. President Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983\, and it was first observed three years later. At first\, some states resisted observing the holiday as such\, giving it alternative names or combining it with other holidays. It was officially observed in all 50 states for the first time in 2000. Source: Duckduckgo API

SUMMARY:Lantern Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Lantern Festival\, also called Shangyuan Festival\, is a Chinese traditional festival celebrated on the full moon\, the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar. Usually falling in February or early March on the Gregorian calendar\, it marks the final day of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations. As early as the Western Han Dynasty\, it had become a festival with great significance. During the Lantern Festival\, children go out at night carrying paper lanterns and solve riddles on the lanterns. In ancient times\, the lanterns were fairly simple\, and only the emperor and noblemen had large ornate ones. In modern times\, lanterns have been embellished with many complex designs. For example\, lanterns are now often made in the shape of animals. The lanterns can symbolize the people letting go of their past selves and getting new ones\, which they will let go of the next year. The lanterns are almost always red to symbolize good fortune.

SUMMARY:Isra and Mi'raj
DESCRIPTION:The Israʾ and Miʿraj are the two parts of a Night Journey that\, according to Islam\, the prophet Muhammad took during a single night around the year 621. Within Islam it signifies both a physical and spiritual journey. A brief sketch of the story is in the Quran surah al-Isra\, while greater detail is found in the hadith; later collections of the reports\, teachings\, deeds and sayings of Muhammad. In the Israʾpart of the journey\, Muhammad is said to have traveled on the back of the winged steed Buraq to Al-Aqsa Mosque where he leads other prophets in prayer. In the next part of the journey\, the Mi’raj\, he ascends into heaven where he individually greets the prophets and later\, speaks to God\, who gives Muhammad instructions to take back to the Muslims regarding the details of prayer. The journey and ascent are marked as one of the most celebrated dates in the Islamic calendar. Source: Duckduckgo API

SUMMARY:Purim
DESCRIPTION:Purim is a Jewish holiday which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman\, an Achaemenid Persian Empire official who was planning to kill all the Jews in the empire\, as recounted in the Book of Esther. Haman was the royal vizier to King Ahasuerus. His plans were foiled by Mordecai and Esther\, his cousin and adopted daughter who had become Queen of Persia. The day of deliverance became a day of feasting and rejoicing. According to the Scroll of Esther\, “they should make them days of feasting and gladness\, and of sending portions one to another\, and gifts to the poor.” Purim is celebrated among Jews by: • Exchanging gifts of food and drink known as mishloach manot • Donating charity to the poor known as mattanot la-evyonim • Eating a celebratory meal known as a se’udat Purim • Public recitation of the Scroll of Esther\, known as kriat ha-megillah\, usually in synagogue • Reciting additions to the daily prayers and the grace after meals\, known as Al HaNissim.
