Armenian Appreciation Day is marked every year on April 3. This day pays tribute to Armenians in celebrating history and culture and recognizes the community’s struggle for inclusion. The Armenians have for centuries lived between larger, warring powers and as minorities within larger states. Most Armenians do not live in Armenia but are scattered across the globe. Despite geographic distances and having absorbed numerous influences from diverse and often dominating cultures, the Armenians have maintained a distinct culture. They take pride in their language, religious faith, and beautiful, mountainous homeland.
Hug a Medievalist Day
Hug a Medievalist Day is celebrated on March 31. This is a day to demonstrate love to medievalists. These are people who are greatly attracted to the art, culture, and philosophy of the middle ages in Europe. Medievalists are known to study this timeframe’s architecture, literature, music, art, and all other aspects of culture. The idea of celebrating this day comes from Sarah Laseke, who is currently studying for an MS in Medieval Literature at the University of Oxford. She believed that medievalists also deserved an official celebration day, so she established the event on Facebook. Laseke wanted to create a day on which medievalists would be the center of attention.
