Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Regional/Cultural Day
Calabashi Gbe
The calabash is the universal vessel of Benin. Palm wine in a calabash, attieke served in a calabash, offerings to Vodun spirits in a calabash. It grows on a vine, dries in the sun, and becomes the one object that appears at every meal, every ceremony, and every gathering. Today honors the humble gourd that carries Benin's culture in its curves.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Mayotte Day
You observe the endemic Mayotte lemur and various seabird species that nest on the island's shores. You see that dogs, cats, and occasionally parrots are the pets most frequently kept by Mayottian residents. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
