National Day of Giving takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which occurs every fourth Friday of November. This year, it takes place on December 3. Did you know that the National Day of Giving was only created in 2012? National Day of Giving, also known as Giving Tuesday or Global Day of Giving follows three major shopping days: Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. It is created to unleash the power of radical generosity by giving to those in need or charities. Non-profits and charitable organizations usually participate in the day to run end-of-year campaigns and fundraise for the disadvantaged and underserved. Giving Tuesday is a global movement observed in most countries around the world.

Christ the King Feast
Christ the King Feast is a Catholic celebration that takes place on the last Sunday of the liturgical year in the Catholic faith — on November 23 this year. Originally a Roman Catholic feast, it is now observed by Christians of all denominations as a way to recognize and honor Jesus Christ as the ‘King of Kings.’ The church’s aim to remind the increasingly secular world of the importance of God and his teachings is one of the key reasons for the celebration.
