Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
The church goes dark. The priest emerges with the holy light. Every candle in every hand is lit from one flame. The "Christos Anesti" fills the church, and then the streets, and then the neighborhood. Fireworks go off, the fast is broken with magiritsa (Easter soup), and every Cypriot who has not eaten meat for 50 days is weeping with joy.
You encounter the endemic red crab during its famous annual migration and various seabirds like the Christmas frigatebird and booby on this remote island. You find that cats, dogs, and rabbits serve as the primary pets for the small population of residents. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You taste Borovička gin and Tatranský čaj (Tatra tea), which are beloved Slovak spirits and herbal drinks rooted in mountain traditions. You know these products embody Slovakia's relationship with its natural landscape and its legacy of craft distilling and herbal remedies passed through generations.
