World Calendar Day
Looking Back at 1800 Day
The British East India Company has taken Bengal after the Battle of Plassey and the wealth is draining out. The muslin weavers are being forced out of business. The Permanent Settlement locks land ownership into British-friendly landlord hands. The famine of 1770 killed a third of the population. The next famine is coming.
Regional/Cultural Day
Mokslo ir Zinių Diena
The first day of school in Lithuania, and the day when the children wear their best clothes, carry bouquets of flowers for their teachers, and line up for the first bell ceremony. The first bell is rung by a senior student carrying a first-grader on their shoulders, and the tradition symbolizes the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next. The day is emotional, and the parents cry more than the children.
