Poetry Break Day
Poetry Break Day is on January 13, and we’re committed to helping you have an amazing celebration. Do you know that the Mesopotamian Epic Of Gilgamesh is considered to be the first poem ever written, and is about 4,000 years old? Poetry Break Day is a celebration of the poet inside all of us. People celebrate this day by writing poems of their own and also reading poems written by their favorite poets. Some might say that it is a day when poets take a break and people who usually don’t write poems take up their responsibility; however, no evidence supports this claim. But one thing we can agree on is that this day celebrates poetry.
Calennig
Calennig celebrated on January 13 every year, is the Welsh tradition of celebrating and welcoming the New Year. Did you know that ‘Calennig’ is a Welsh word that is derived from the Latin word ‘kalends’ which translates to ‘the first day of the month’? While many countries have adopted the Gregorian calendar, a village in Wales, known as Cwm Gwaun, is still using the Julian calendar — hence celebrating New Year 13 days later. Nonetheless, the celebration was, and still is spectacular! On Calennig, people of Wales exchange gifts, sweets, or even money with their family and friends to welcome the new year on a good note. Let’s learn about the years-old tradition of Calennig.
