World Public Clock Day leads today's complete edition for Bulgaria.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for bells, watches, phones, station clocks, school clocks, prayer times, opening hours, and the agreements people make with time.
The national dance of Bulgaria, performed in 7/8 time, which means every beat counts except the one you expect. The rachenitsa is slower than the horo, more dramatic, and traditionally involves snapping fingers and a look of fierce concentration. Learning it is a rite of passage, performing it at a wedding is a test of character, and finishing it without stepping on someone's foot is a miracle.
You witness brown bears, Carpathian lynx, and gray wolves roaming Romania's forests and mountains. You notice that Romanian households most frequently keep dogs, cats, and sheep as pets and working animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
