Bake a Pie in Solidarity Day is celebrated on March 14. Just the thought of pies makes our mouths water. Virtually every country has a version of this dish, proving how versatile and delicious pies are. In the U.S., pies are practically a national dessert. A slice of apple pie topped with a scoop of ice cream is as American as the Statue of Liberty or an old Western movie. Pies are symbolic of comfort, love, and unity. On Bake a Pie in Solidarity Day, spread the love by baking and sharing this dish with the people around you.
National Working Mom’s day
National Working Moms Day is celebrated on March 12 every year. It’s a day to celebrate all the mothers that work for their children — the teachers, the doctors, the accountants, the cashiers, and yes, even the housewives and homemakers. All of them work; all of them are role models. Even beyond their paid jobs, mothers tend to assume the roles of substitute teachers, first aiders, cooks, cleaners, and more. This is why, inspired by the Working Moms of Milwaukee organization, we support their businesses, recognize all that they do, and express how much it means on this day.
Lui-Ngai-Ni
Lui-Ngai-Ni is celebrated every year on February 15 in the northeastern state of Manipur in India. This rural festival is intended to bring together the many tribes of Naga people in the state. Even though Lui-Ngai-Ni is an important festival in the state of Manipur, those living outside of it are very unlikely to celebrate it. On this day, schools, offices, and businesses may remain shut in Manipur. In the mid-1980s, Lui-Ngai-Ni became an iconic festival for Naga tribes, and it has been a state holiday in Manipur since 1998. Happy Lui-Ngai-Ni to those who celebrate!
