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
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.
Magna Carta Day
Magna Carta Day is celebrated on June 15 every year. This day is about the commemoration of the approval of the Great Charter which limits the power of the English monarch and simultaneously outlines the rights of the common people in England. This document has been used as the template for civil liberties not just in the United Kingdom but all over the world, highlighting parliamentarianism, constitutionalism, and liberty. On this holiday, everyone is encouraged to visit libraries and attend festivals. Grab the opportunity to learn more about the Magna Carta and the rich history behind people’s rights in Great Britain.
