Up Coming  Anniversaries :-

Valentines Day in 10 days. Tradition holds that the first Valentine card was sent in 270 A.D. by St. Valentine himself on the eve of his execution for refusing to renounce Christianity. Signed "from your Valentine", it was a note of appreciation from the young cleric to his jailer's blind daughter who had brought him food and delivered messages for him.The Romans celebrated St. Valentine's Day as the Feast of Lupercalia, dedicated to the pastoral god Lupercus and to the Goddess of Love, Juno. The birds of Italy began mating on February 14, the oracles observed. Roman maidens placed their names in an urn set up in the public square and courageous bachelors drew from it to obtain their "blind date" for the coming year. The Christian Church denounced these "love lotteries" as pagan rituals. During the Middle Ages,

1st day of Lent in 18 days. Also know as Ash Wednesday. Lent lasts 40 days. Having its origin sometime before A.D. 1000, it is a day of public penance and is marked in the Roman Catholic Church by the burning of the palms blessed on the previous year's Palm Sunday. With the ashes from the palms the priest then marks a cross with his thumb upon the forehead of each worshipper. The Anglican Church and a few Protestant groups in the United States also observe the day, but generally without the use of ashes.

St David's Day in 26 days. St. David (c.520-588) is the patron saint of Wales and was the founder and first abbot-bishop of Menevia, now St. David's in the county of Pembrokeshire, West Wales. The day is celebrated by the wearing of leeks or daffodils - traditional emblems of Wales.

Commonwealth Day in 37 days. People use the day to promote understanding about global issues, international co-operation and the work of the modern Commonwealth. Each year a different theme is chosen. The Queen typically attends a special service in Westminster Abbey

Mother's Day in 43 days. Also know as Mothering Sunday it is typically on a different day to that of Mother's day in the United States.

Pancake Day / Mardis Gras in 46 days. Pancake day's official title is Shrove Tuesday. Which is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Lent is a time of abstinence - traditionally of meat, fat, eggs and dairy products - so Shrove Tuesday was the day to consume all the fat, eggs and dairy products in the kitchen and hence the tradition to make pancakes.

St George's Day in 79 days. Patron Saint of England, Germany and Portugal. Lots of people have heard the story of how St George slaid the Dragon and possibly call into question whether he actually existed. St George did exist and according to Legend was a Knight from Cappadocia
