A. International Labor Day is May first. But the United States chose another day for Labor Day. A New York labor leader is said to have suggested the first Monday in September be a holiday to honor labor. He proposed public parades to show the strength of labor organizations. Now, Labor Day weekend for Americans is a time to celebrate the last warm days of summer. People enjoy outdoor activities and picnics. And for most American children, Labor Day means it is time for school to begin again.
B. November 11th is Veterans Day. It was first declared Armistice Day by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. It was a day to honor the men and women who had served in the American Armed Forces during World War One. Armistice Day in 1945 honored veterans of both World War One and World War Two. In nineteen-fifty-four, Congress decided to change the name of Armistice Day to Veterans Day. On November 11th of each year, America’s military veterans are remembered with ceremonies and parades across the nation.
C. Memorial Day (the last Monday in May) honors the dead of the American Civil War. It was apparently first celebrated in Georgia in 1866 as Confederate Decoration Day when the graves of confederate soldiers were covered with flowers. In 1868, General Logan ordered the 30th May set aside as Memorial Day and the first observance was held at Arlington National Cemetery that year. Over time, it has become a memorial for all those who have died in battle for the USA.
D. The original Thanksgiving of the Pilgrim fathers would have had all the traditional things of an English village fair, with races and competitions, music and, of course, a big meal. Prayers of thanks would have been offered just as they are today. Perhaps the most significant factor; was the co-operation between the pilgrims and the local Native American Indians, without which the pilgrims would very probably have starved to death, since they had little knowledge of the ways of their adopted country.
E. Columbus Day, traditionally the 12th of October, celebrates Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas in 1492. Christopher Columbus made three expeditions on behalf of the Spanish monarchs. The first, with three ships, was a voyage to discover a new route to China or the East Indies. The second voyage was in 1493, with 17 ships. And in 1498, he finally reached the mainland in Venezuela. Columbus was admiral and governor general of the new colonies until 1500 when he was returned to Spain in disgrace.
F. President George Washington was born on February 22nd, 1732 (February 11th old style), and was president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. The celebration Of this holiday on February 22nd was a firmly rooted tra-: dition. It was changed to the 3rd Monday in February by federal legislation in 1968. Though the holiday is officially known as Washington’s Birthday, it is commonly called Presidents’ Day and is considered by many Americans to celebrate the birthdays of both Presidents Washington and Lincoln.
G. Jewish Americans celebrate the eight nights of Hanukkah. The Festival of Lights is set by the Hebrew calendar, so it is different each year. The story of Hanukkah goes back more than two thousand years, to the land that is now Israel. The ruling Greek-Syrian king attempted to suppress the Jewish religion. He placed statues of Greekgods in the Jewish temple and tried to force the people to accept them.
