National Lucia Day is celebrated on November 20 every year in honor of this feminine-given name. Lucia is derived from the Latin word ‘Lux,’’ which means ‘light.’ It is the feminine version of the Roman praenomen ‘Lucius,’ a variant spelling of Lucy. The term is used in the Romanian, Italian, Spanish (Luca), Portuguese (Lcia), English, and Slavic languages. Lucia is a girl’s name of Spanish and Italian origin that means ‘light.’ It is both the feminine version of Lucius and the Latinized spelling of Lucy. Lucia was usually given to children born as daylight broke because of its link to light.
National Sober Day
National Sober Day occurs annually on September 14, and the day forms a part of National Sober Month. This day was founded in 2019 by ‘Real Aligned Women’ who identify themselves as a ‘sisterhood for sobriety. This initiative is also sponsored by The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. This holiday can be about renewing one’s commitment to staying sober or marking the start of a journey to getting sober. Millions of people suffer from substance abuse, and this day reminds them that they are supported and that they are not alone in their struggles.
National Food Bank Day
National Food Bank Day is marked on the first Friday of September. This year the celebration will be on September 5. Hunger is a continuing problem in our global community and National Food Bank Day is a reminder to others that no one should go to bed hungry. Food banks provide food to the poor with the help of volunteers and social workers. They also promote tools for self-sufficiency. This day is to honor those workers, volunteers, and food bank charities who work in this regard.
