In memory of the fateful day and of those who lost their lives, Hiroshima Day is observed yearly on August 6. The observance serves as a reminder of the day when a nuclear weapon was used during an armed conflict between the United States and Japan, and the lives that were lost when an entire city was razed to the ground. Little did they know that the effects of the atomic bomb that was dropped by the U.S. on the city of Hiroshima, Japan in 1945 would be felt by the next generations of Japanese as well. There was a large-scale loss of infrastructure, and a large number of people continued to die years after the incident.
Braham Pie Day
Braham Pie Day is celebrated on the first Friday of August every year. This year the day will be celebrated on August 5. Braham is a town in the American state of Minnesota that is best known for its delicious and sinful pies. Enthusiasts gather in Braham to eat pies and also participate in craft shows, costumes, and performances related to the famous pies.
Braham pie doesn’t come in a particular flavor, and any homemade pie can be considered a Braham pie. It’s a day of celebration for bakers, customers, vendors, and anybody who loves a good pie.
National Textiles Day
It’s National Textiles Day on May 3, and we’re recognizing the major role textiles play in our everyday lives. Textiles are woven from natural and synthetic materials into the clothes we wear, the bedding we sleep on, the rugs we step on, and even the canvases we paint on. One of the major pioneers of sustainable and environmentally friendly textiles — and the creator of this fun day — is a company called Valley Forge. Take a second and think about what life would be like without textiles. Our clothing, home decor, and way of life would be totally different.
