World Religion Day (Third Sunday of January)

 

World Religion Day takes place every January on the third Sunday of the month aiming to promote interfaith understanding and dialogue between all religions as well as mutual understanding and tolerance between people from different backgrounds.

The day is a global observance for people of all faiths and beliefs to come together to celebrate diversity, foster peace, and promote religious tolerance. It was established by the Bahá’í Faith community in the United States in 1950. Its purpose is to encourage people of all backgrounds to explore the teachings and principles of various religions and to promote unity and understanding among different faiths.

International Flower Day

Every January 19^th, we pause to celebrate the vibrant beauty and heartfelt joy flowers bring to our lives. International Flower Day is not just about bouquets or gardens — it's about connection, kindness, and spreading happiness.

The holiday sprouted from a sweet gesture by Rohan and Brooke Levy, a father-daughter duo from Tasmania. Their tradition of gifting 300 flowers to strangers each year is as heartwarming as a sunflower on a sunny day.

Why Celebrate Flowers?

Flowers have been nature’s love language for centuries. Whether you’re wooing someone with roses, calming your nerves with lavender, or decorating your desk with daisies, blooms add beauty and positivity to every moment.
