The world observes International Museum Day on May 18 each year. Since 1977, the International Council of Museums (I.C.O.M.) has celebrated this day annually to pay tribute to the international museum community. Museums are vital venues for cultural exchange and enrichment, as well as for the development of peaceful coexistence and cooperation among nations and communities. This day encourages people to visit museums dedicated to many fields of human endeavor such as agriculture, fashion, astronomy, archaeology, art, and natural history. Together, let us embark on a journey to museums and learn about our historic past.
Stepmother’s Day
Stepmother’s Day is celebrated every year in the United States on the Sunday after Mother’s Day. This year, it falls on May 18. The aim is to show appreciation to stepmothers around the world — stepmothers are women who marry men who already have children. They usually play the role of mothers and help to take care of their stepchildren. Stepmothers have raised children and provided them with time, energy, and emotional and financial support. Since they are not the children’s biological mothers, they may not get enough recognition on Mother’s Day. Stepmother’s Day comes to celebrate the unique relationship between stepmothers and their stepchildren.
Bring Flowers To Someone Day
Bring Flowers to Someone Day is held annually on May 15. The gift of flowers is a universal way of showing love, appreciation, sympathy, or thanks. Today is the perfect day to explore the history of giving flowers and the meanings behind them. You won’t need a reason to give flowers to someone — any or no reason will do! Everyone is encouraged to spread joy through beautiful blooms. Buy an arrangement from a florist or pick blooms from your garden. You must hand over the flowers yourself. It adds a personal touch to a thoughtful gift.
