Католического или протестантского : The First Council of Nicaea (a gathering of bishops in the early days of Christianity) wanted to find a day to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. This commemoration had to be linked to Jewish holiday traditions, since the last supper of Christ was believed to be a Jewish Passover meal. But the Jewish calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles, so the Easter celebration had to follow the same calendar.

Светский праздник : In tribute to national hero Joaquim Josй da Silva Xavier, a resistant in the upraise against the Portuguese. Since he was a dentist, he was nicknamed tiradentes ( tooth-puller ). He was executed in 1789. Paid holiday when falling on Saturday or Sunday

Светский праздник : Впервые провозглашен в 1889 собранием Международного Социалистического движения в Париже, в честь восстания рабочих в Чикаго 1 мая 1886 года. Был поддержан Советским Союзом, Нацистами и Францией.

открыткицветы : Mother’s day has evolved in many countries in different ways. This is because mother’s day has different origins in different countries and therefore occurs on different days in the year. One school of thought claims that this day emerged from the custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and Rhea, the wife of Cronus, was held on March 15 to March 18 around Asia Minor. They insist that this custom spread around the world. Mothering Sunday is the celebration of motherhood in the United Kingdom. It is also known as Mid-lent Sunday, Rose Sunday and Laetare Sunday. It originally comes from the Victorian practice of allowing servants to return home to visit their mothers on this day. In the United States, Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 - October 17, 1910) was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, and poet. Howe’s Battle Hymn of the Republic was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862 and quickly became one of the most popular songs for the Union during the American Civil War. After the war she focused her activities on the causes of Pacifism and women’s suffrage. In 1870 she was the first to proclaim Mother’s Day, with her Mother’s Day Proclamation. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson approved Mother’s Day in 1914

Католическая : Commemorates the Last supper. Pope Urban IV ordered the observance of such a feast in 1264, and in the following century it became universal in the Western Church. For six hundred years that feast was observed on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, but in 1970 the new Roman Missal, while retaining that day for some countries, provided that in others the feast be observed on the Sunday after Trinity. the actual celebration is moved to the nearest weekend.

Светский праздник : August 5, 1585 was the date on which the Portuguese arrived in the lands of Paraiba, thus founding the city of Nossa Senhora das Neves (now Joгo Pessoa)

Светский праздник : В 1807 году армия Наполеона направилась на Лиссбон. За два дня до захвата, португальский принц регент отплыл в Бразилию. С его прибытием Рио-де-Жанейро стал столицей объединнного королевства Португалии, Бразилии и Альгарвы. Таким образом Бразилия стала единственной в мире колонией, где находилась резиденция европейского монарха. В 1822 году сын принца регента, оставшийся в колонии для правления в то время как его отец вернулся в Португалию, поднял свлю свиту и потребоавл независимоть со словами'Independência ou morte!' (независимость или смерть). Португалия была слишком ослаблена чтобы воевать. Таким образом Бразилия получила независимость, не пролив единой капли крови.
