International Fanny Pack Day is celebrated on the second Saturday in March every year. Though the name might imply it’s a day solely to celebrate fanny packs, the heartfelt meaning behind the day goes much deeper. A trend that hit in the 1980s, fanny packs are small pouches strapped around the waist for carrying little items, such as phones, money, and other items too small to warrant large bags. Whether you call it a waist bag, a belly bag, a belt bag, a moon bag, or even a bum bag, there’s no denying the usefulness of this accessory. The true history behind the day makes International Fanny Pack Day all the more special.
National Good Samaritan Day
National Good Samaritan Day, also known as Good Samaritan Involvement Day, is celebrated on March 13 every year. It’s a day to celebrate and encourage kindness and selflessness, despite our differences. The phrase ‘Good Samaritan’ is based on a Biblical parable. The day also commemorates the death of Catherine (Kitty) Genovese, who was killed in New York, a little distance from her own home. It is believed that Kitty would have lived if others had intervened during the attack. On this day, we’re reminded to be our brother’s keeper in all circumstances.
National Jewel Day
National Jewel Day on March 13 recognizes precious stones, special heirlooms, and the gems of people that make them! They have our hearts. Jewelry has the uncanny ability to make time stand still. In that moment, all we can see is its beauty. There is so much love and care that goes into crafting a single piece of jewelry. On National Jewel Day, we remember to appreciate and wear these delicate works of art.
