National Spinach Day honors the leafy green whose reputation was transformed by Popeye the Sailor’s 1929 debut — and whose real nutritional profile, rich in iron, folate, and lutein, holds up well beyond any cartoon. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is a public holiday in more than 100 countries, observed with church services, fasting, and the Stations of the Cross. Epilepsy Awareness / Purple Day was founded in 2008 by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia, who chose purple because lavender is the international color of epilepsy. Independence Day of Bangladesh marks March 26, 1971, when Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared Bangladeshi independence from Pakistan. Spinach, the cross, a purple ribbon, and a declaration.
