Foreign Slovaks Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Foreign Slovaks Day is observed on July 5 every year. The day honors the memory of Slovaks who left their homeland for different reasons and at different times. This holiday also falls on the Roman Catholic holiday devoted to Saints Cyril and Methodius, two Byzantine brothers who spread Christianity among the Slavic peoples as missionaries.

This holiday is celebrated not only in Slovakia; in Slovak communities around the world, people celebrate Foreign Slovaks Day as a way to stay in touch with their homeland. So wherever you are, no matter what country you live in, you can always join in the celebration.

Sir Seretse Khama Day is annually observed on July 1 in Botswana. It is a public holiday that commemorates the first President of Botswana on the anniversary of his birth date in 1921. Seretse Khama was the heir and grandson of King Khama III, who died in 1923. He officially became king when he was only four years old, but his uncle ruled as regent at first. Khama also studied abroad, married a British woman, and returned home to start and lead an independence movement in Botswana.

Decide to be Married Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Decide to Be Married Day is celebrated on June 27 annually. Getting married is similar to going out to eat with friends. You place your order, then you wish you had ordered that when you see what the other person has. This might be the sign that you’ve been looking for. This day could be your time, so get ready to pop the question! Whether you’re planning a massive flash mob (which we hope you are) or a sweet proclamation of love over dinner, June 27 is the day we honor all types of proposals.
