Belize observes St. George’s Caye Day as a national holiday on September 10. This day honors a victory in a major war with the Spanish in 1798. Off the coast of British Honduras, the Battle of St. George’s Caye was a military conflict that occurred from September 3 to 10, 1798. The last battle, which took place on September 10, is the only one to which the holiday’s name is dedicated. The Spaniards had previously attempted to expel the colonists six times, the most recent time being in 1779. The final Spanish attempt to take control of the area occurred on September 10, 1798.

The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
The Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel is on July 16. The name given to the Blessed Virgin Mary as the patroness of the Carmelite Order, particularly within the Catholic Church, is Our Lady of Mount Carmel, or Virgin of Carmel. In the late 12th and early to mid-13th centuries, Christian hermits first settled on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land and became known as Carmelites. They constructed a chapel in the middle of their hermitages and dedicated it to the Blessed Virgin, whom they envisioned as the ‘Lady of the place’ in chivalric terms. The 19th century saw Chile choose Our Lady of Mount Carmel as its patron saint.
