End of the Middle Ages Day
End of the Middle Ages Day comes up on May 29 every year. It was on this day in 1453 that Constantinople fell to Ottoman invaders led by Sultan Mehmed II attacked the city and overthrew Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos. Many intellectuals fled the capital city for asylum in Italy and started a revival of learning based on classical Greek sources. The Middle Ages, divided into early, high and late Middle Ages, are traditionally seen as a time when cultural and scientific progress was at a minimum. In contrast, the Renaissance surpassed the ideas of classical antiquity.
Pony Express Day
Pony Express Day is on April 3 every year. This annual observance celebrates the innovative founders and brave riders who made up the Pony Express, quick delivery, and mail service of the early 1860s. The Pony Express was born back when there were no message delivery and postal services as we know today to link the far west — and most especially, the new state of California — with the rest of the United States. Thanks to its dogged riders and diligent staff, the Pony Express revolutionized the speedy delivery of messages and packages. The mail service ultimately spurred the creation of catalogs and enabled people to purchase products which are delivered by horse.
