World Freshly Swept Step Day leads today's complete edition for Slovakia.
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 the visible care people give to entrances, porches, shopfronts, courtyards, sidewalks, and shared spaces.
The feast of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, is observed in the forests and hunting lodges of Slovakia with a solemn Mass, the blessing of the hounds, and the sounding of the hunting horns. The Slovak forests are home to red deer, wild boar, and the European bison, and the tradition of hunting is deeply woven into the culture of the mountain regions. The day begins with Mass in the forest, continues with a hunt, and ends with a feast of wild game and red wine.
