Guru Arjun Dev Ji Martyrdom Day or the ‘Shaheedi Diwas’ is on June 18 this year. It holds every year on Day 24 of Jeth — the third month in the Sikh calendar. This day is of great religious value to Sikhs worldwide. Guru Arjun Dev Ji was the first martyr of the Sikh religion and is known for his great work. People organize religious events on this day and read the “Sri Guru Granth Sahib.” They also distribute food in the ‘langars’ of the ‘gurudwara’ — a community eating practice whereby all visitors receive free food.
Tiara Day
Tiara Day is an international holiday that is celebrated on May 24 every year. It is a holiday used to empower women and celebrate them for their amazing contributions to the home and society. A tiara is a piece of jewelry worn on the head of a woman that represents intelligence and strength. Every woman deserves a crown for the work that they do every day, and that is why Tiara Day was set aside to remind women to celebrate themselves and for others to appreciate all their hard work. Giving power to women benefits society as a whole, as women are responsible for the continuation and raising of future generations.
