Respect For Parents Day is celebrated on August 1 every year. The day is treated as the perfect starting point to teach young children about respecting their parents and other parental figures in their lives. It is also a great day to express your gratitude and love for your parents by celebrating the day with them. Respect For Parents Day was started as a way to appreciate all parents who have selflessly dedicated their lives to their children and have worked tirelessly to give them a happy and safe childhood. The day celebrates the eternal love between children and their parents.
National Minority Donor Awareness Day
National Minority Donor Awareness Day is celebrated on August 1 as a way of bringing to light the need for minority donors. The day is a part of National Minority Donor Awareness Week. This particular day highlights the need, especially among minorities, for more organ, eye, and tissue donors. Yet another focus of the day includes acknowledging minorities who have donated. Along with educating people about the need to donate organs, the day also encourages them to register themselves as donors. National Minority Donor Awareness Day also tries to inculcate good health habits in people so that there may be a decreased need for an organ transplant.
Lammas Day
Lammas Day, celebrated every August 1, is a wheat harvest festival that is also known as Loaf Mass Day. The holiday encourages celebrations and mass gatherings where individuals thank God for the first harvest of the season. According to tradition, a loaf of bread has to be taken to mass on Lammas Day, hence, it is not a surprise that it is famously recognized as ‘Loaf Mass Day.’ Though Lammas Day originated as a Christian holiday, it is also celebrated by others who want to offer thanks to spiritual entities for blessing the world with a fruitful wheat harvest for a particular year.
