Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
World Calendar Day
Dia de Reyes
Kids leave their shoes out the night before and wake up hoping for a gift from the Reyes Magos. The panaderias sell roscon de reyes, the ring-shaped sweet bread with a plastic baby hidden inside. Whoever finds the baby hosts the next gathering, though everyone forgets by February.
Regional/Cultural Day
Dreikönigstag
The day the Three Kings arrive, and the Christmas season officially ends. Children dress up as the Three Kings and go door-to-door singing carols (Sternsingen), collecting money for charity. The tradition is to write "20+C+M+B+26" (the year and the initials of the Kings : Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar) above the door with chalk. The initials also stand for "Christus Mansionem Benedicat" (Christ bless this house). In Liechtenstein's Catholic tradition (80% of the population is Catholic), the chalk blessing is taken seriously, and the doorways in Vaduz and Schaan bear the inscription well into spring.
Regional/Cultural Day
Liechtenstein Battery Hunt Day
A day for checking the remote, the toy, the flashlight, the clock, and the one drawer everyone opens first.
Regional/Cultural Day
Tool Drawer Day
A day for the drawer that has three almost-right screws, old batteries, tape, string, and the answer to a small emergency.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Serbia Day
You observe European brown bears, grey wolves, and Balkan lynx as the most distinctive wildlife native to Serbia. You find that dogs, cats, and ornamental fish are the most popular pets kept by Serbian families in urban and rural areas. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
