Venezuela Independence Day is celebrated annually on July 5, commemorating its history as the first independent country in South America. Today we remember Venezuela’s role as a leader of popular resistance and the Latin American independence movement. A day to honor visionaries such as Simón Bolívar and Francisco de Miranda, whose bravery flew in the face of the mighty Spanish empire. Songs, legends, and shrines still abound in their name. Despite unspeakable violence and atrocities on both sides, the patriots secured Venezuelan independence in 1821 after decades of resistance. Although we celebrate the country’s independence today, July 5 symbolizes the road to freedom for all people. Venezuela will welcome everyone who wants to join the celebration of this great holiday. The main thing is an earnest desire to congratulate the people of Venezuela.
National Guy Day
National Guy Day is observed every June 29. It may not be a conventional holiday, but we think it’s an excellent way to celebrate all the great Guys out there! The name ‘Guy’ is derived from the Italian and Germanic ‘Guido,’ which was taken from the Old French ‘gui’ (‘guide’). ‘Guy’ may also be an anglicization of the Hebrew ‘Gai,’ meaning ‘ravine.’ The patron saint of comedians and dancers, St. Vitus, was also known as St. Guy. Guy is a popular name in the United States, and there have been many famous Guys, like Guy Fawkes and Guy Ritchie, throughout history.
Christopher Street Day
Christopher Street Day is celebrated every year on June 28. Often known as C.S.D., the day is a celebration of the L.G.B.T. community taking place in a variety of cities throughout the world — they join together to celebrate themselves, as well as to raise awareness of the L.G.B.T. community in society. In some places, it is held on the final Saturday of the month. It has been observed since 1970 and is the forerunner of Gay Pride Day. A typical Christopher Street Day Parade includes floats as well as walking groups, which are usually provided by and made up of members of L.G.B.T. organizations. However, as floats by political parties and commercially sponsored trucks become more common, the parade is increasingly being used as a platform for political campaigning and commercial advertising.
