Pesach Sheni is observed on Iyar 14, one month after 14 Nisan — the day before Passover when the paschal lamb was selected as a sacrifice for the holiday. This year, it takes place on April 30. It offers a second opportunity for anyone unable to participate in the first Passover celebration.
International Dylan Thomas Day
International Dylan Thomas Day is observed internationally on May 14 yearly. Dylan Thomas is a Welsh poet known for his lyrical and emotive poems as well as his stormy personal life. “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night” and the drama “Under Milk Wood” are two of his most well-known works. On the anniversary of the first reading of “Under Milk Wood,” the holiday is observed. Literature Wales is in charge of organizing the event, which is financed by the Welsh government after consultation with the Thomas family, the Dylan Thomas estate, and other stakeholders.
Paraguay Independence Day
The Paraguay Independence Day celebration starts on May 14 and ends the following day. Paraguay’s de facto independence began on May 14, 1811, when a local ruling ‘junta’ was established following the May 14 Revolution. This festival — known in Spanish as ‘Da de la Independencia Nacional’ — commemorates Paraguay’s independence from Spain. The two-day celebrations involve outdoor gatherings of loved ones to play soccer, listen to local music, and host barbeques and traditional drinks that pay homage to Paraguay’s cultural history.
