We celebrate National Grey Day on April 3 every year. We do this to honor a name that stems from the Boernician tribe that once inhabited the area that is now the boundary between Scotland and England. There are two distinct beginnings to the family name Grey that can be found in Scotland. The name was derived from the Gaelic word ‘Riabhach’, which can be translated as “gray.” It is possible to trace its roots back to the region of Calvados, specifically to the village of Graye.
National Julia Day
National Julia Day is observed every year on March 30. The day inspires you to delve further into the origins of your name. Julia is a typically feminine given name. It is the feminine Latin form of the names ‘Julio’ and ‘Julius.’ Julia is a Latin name for a girl, and the meaning of Julia is ‘youthful’ or ‘supreme god.’ The given name Julia was popular in ancient times but fell out of favor during the Middle Ages and was only restored during the Italian Renaissance. It was only in the 1700s that it became popular in the English-speaking world. It is now widely utilized all around the world.
Spiritual Baptist Liberation Day
Spiritual Baptist Liberation Day is a public holiday celebrated on March 30. In Trinidad and Tobago, Spiritual Baptist is a blend of Protestantism and African beliefs. The colonial government outlawed the Spiritual and Shouter Baptist religion in Trinidad from 1917 to 1951. To seek respect for their religion, Baptists opted to call themselves Spiritual Baptists instead of Shouters. In March 1951, the Repeal of Shouter Prohibition Ordinance was passed after extensive lobbying and the Spiritual Shouter Baptists gained religious freedom. Processions, church services, plays, and religious observances mark the festival.
