The Ecuador Carnival is a popular event, also known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday in the U.S., which takes place on the last Tuesday before Lent in February or early March. This year, it takes place on February 17. The holiday has religious origins and traditions. It is considered to be a Christian holiday to indulge in life. It occurs just before the season of Lent. It serves as a remembrance of the suffering of Jesus on the cross. There are unique traditions that mingle indigenous celebrations with the Catholic roots of Carnival. The traditions differ in some towns, especially the ones with large indigenous populations. The Ecuador Carnival celebrations are a part of indigenous beliefs and practices in Guaranda.
National Town Meeting Day
National Town Meeting Day, a community-driven event that takes place every year on the first Tuesday of March is one of our favorite government and state-related national days to observe. This year, it falls on March 3. We appreciate how town meetings can bring communities together, inspire groups of people to overcome challenges and biases, and come to conclusions and resolutions that concern the whole community. And did you know that the first town meetings took place in Vermont in New England, United States?
National Welsh Corgi Day
National Welsh Corgi Day is celebrated on March 1 every year. This is a pet holiday, so dog lovers should not miss it. The Welsh Corgi originated in Wales and is a small type of herding dog. The name ‘corgi’ comes from the Welsh words ‘cor’ and ‘ci,’ meaning ‘dwarf’ and ‘dog,’ respectively. Two separate breeds of corgi are recognized: the Pembroke Welsh Corgi and the Cardigan Welsh Corgi. They have physical differences. According to the breed standards, overall the Cardigan is heavier and larger, and their tails are of different shapes.
