Tell a Lie Day is on April 4 and it gives us permission to tell a lie within reason. It comes only a few days after April Fool’s Day and it makes for the perfect companion holiday for those still in the trickster spirit. There are certain times when lying is acceptable. One of which involves bluffing during a game of poker. It’s better to keep a straight face and act as if our hands aren’t as great as they are. Afterall, sometimes being a good liar can pay off!
International Carrot Day
Shake off the dirt and wear your best orange on this International Carrot Day, on April 4. You’ll never catch us without a pack of carrots in the crisper and that’s because this vegetable is not only highly affordable with a long shelf life, but is also exceedingly beneficial for our health. Whether they’re brightening our winter soups or complimenting the cream cheese icing in our cakes, carrots are always a welcome guest on any plate.
Holy Saturday
Religious holidays have a way of bringing people together and this is why we celebrate Holy Saturday on April 4 this year. Holy Saturday marks the last day of the Holy Week. Jesus was laid to rest on this day. He was enclosed inside a tomb whilst his followers held a 40-hour vigil in his honor. All over the world, people also observe the last day of their Lent on this day, which they had begun months prior. Lent is a period of reflection and preparation for Easter Sunday. During this time, many people around the world give up one thing that they absolutely love. Traditionally, people abstain from eating certain food items, usually their favorites.
