The Royal Ascot meeting is held for traditionally five days every year in the middle of June. This year, it will be held from June 9 to 13, with the following year’s date being decided after the current year’s event is over. It is a major event in the British social calendar and sees the attendance of the royal family and the elite of British society. The annual race meeting, which occurs at the Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire, England, has continued to be a mix of pomp, tradition, fashion, class distinction, and sport since being established many years ago.
National Chamoy Day
National Chamoy Day is celebrated every year on June 13 to honor this delicious versatile condiment that the world raves over. Chamoy is a saucy condiment made of dried chilies, lime juice, and fruit — usually mango, apricot, or plum. You might have seen it drizzled on top of some refreshing fruit, over nachos, mixed into cocktails, and even served as a dipping sauce for meat. Overall, it’s a condiment that goes well with several other foods. What’s amazing is that chamoy itself comes in different forms with a range of popular chamoy sauces in markets. National Chamoy Day is a great opportunity to learn more about this incomparable condiment and for you to start incorporating it into your meals!
Feast of St. Anthony
The Feast of St. Anthony is observed every year on June 13 to honor the life and work of St. Anthony of Padua, who accomplished many things during his short time in this world as a priest. He was revered by his contemporaries and noted for his powerful preaching, vast knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick. They made him one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history. His fame spread through Portuguese evangelization and he became the patron saint of Lisbon, Padua, and many other places in Portugal. St. Anthony is invoked and respected around the world as the patron saint for the recovery of lost items. He is credited with several miracles involving lost people, things, and even spiritual goods.
