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 thing remembered at the door, bought before closing, delivered before supper, or rescued just in time.
The churches fill with families remembering those who have passed. Every Ghanaian Christian lights a candle, says a prayer, and then calls home to make sure the family is doing fine. The cemeteries are visited, the graves are cleaned, and the ancestors are acknowledged.
Families visit cemeteries, clean graves, and leave flowers. In Recoleta, the mausoleums are architectural marvels. In small towns, the cemetery is on the edge of the village and the whole community comes. It is quiet, respectful, and deeply personal.
The day before is when the real action happens. Colombians visit cemeteries, clean headstones, leave flowers, and have long conversations with relatives who can no longer argue back.
The cemeteries fill with families carrying candles and flowers. In Bangui, the cemetery on the hill overlooks the Oubangui, and on this day, every grave has a visitor.
El DÃa de los Muertos rumano se celebra el 1 de noviembre, y la tradición es visitar las tumbas de los difuntos, encender velas y compartir comida y bebida con los muertos. Los cementerios se transforman en mares de luz de velas, y la tradición es llevar un plato de coliva (trigo hervido con azúcar y nueces) a la iglesia, donde es bendecido por el sacerdote y distribuido entre los dolientes. En los pueblos de Maramures, el DÃa de los Muertos es uno de los eventos más importantes del año, y la tradición es pasar toda la noche en la tumba, bebiendo tuica y contando historias sobre los difuntos. El Cementerio Alegre de Sapanta adquiere una atmósfera especial en esta noche: las cruces coloridas y los epitafios ingeniosos parecen brillar a la luz de las velas, y la frontera entre vivos y muertos parece disolverse.
Un dÃa para la comida rápida, el cliente habitual, el cocinero ocupado y la comida en la que la gente confÃa entre obligaciones.
Un dÃa para hacer espacio en la mesa cuando aparece una persona más.
You marvel at Madagascar's unique lemurs, fossas, and tenrecs that exist nowhere else on Earth due to the island's isolated evolution. You notice that Malagasy families commonly keep dogs, cats, and zebu cattle as their primary domestic animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
