Dia de la Candelaria

The Virgin of Candelaria is venerated across northern Chile, especially in the mining towns where faith is the only thing stronger than the desert. Processions carry her through streets lined with copihues and copper dust. The miners pray to her before every shift and she has never let them down.

Fete du Mouton — World Calendar Day
Regional/Cultural Day

Fete du Mouton

In Bambara communities, this is the day for settling disputes over livestock. Elders mediate conflicts between herders, and the first sheep of the season is roasted for the community. The man who admits fault first is considered the bravest, not the one who wins the argument.
