Nemzeti Unnep — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Nemzeti Unnep

The 1848 Revolution against Habsburg rule is commemorated with flags, speeches, and the wearing of cockades in the national colors (red, white, green). University students recite the Nemzeti Dal, the poem that Sándor Petofi read from the steps of the National Museum on March 15, 1848. The revolution failed. Petofi died. The poem survived.

Regional/Cultural Day

Petofi Dalolasa

On March 15th, the National Museum steps are packed with people reciting "Nemzeti Dal" from memory. Schoolchildren learn it in fourth grade and can still recite it in fourth decade. Petofi was 25 when he read it. He was 26 when he died in battle. Every Hungarian knows this.
