Calendar

Hey my dear students… I need your help for my calendar that will be coming out soon.  I decided to add important dates that have an etymological significance… like Guy Fawkes Day, Bissextile Day.. maybe even dates like General Fighting Joe Hooker was born on this day… stuff like that.

If you can think of any dates that should be included, please write them in the comments below… and I’ll be sure to add them!

Thanks so much!  You’ll all get A pluses for helping out your teacher!  :-)

    Маринка – солнце, привет. Вот тебе ссылка на календарь. Думаю там найдешь достаточно матерьяла для следующего года. Ну, а так ты – молодец, конечно. Сама эту тему со словами придумала или кто из Антракса подсказал? Ладно, держи хвост пистолетом. Будешь в Новом Орлеане – дай знать, встретим. Покедова.

    Dear Marina,

    I would like to buy Your Calendar, but I found out that for me the shipment is more expansive than the calendar. So I beg Your pardon. i suggest you offer it in pdf.

    Hi Marina ,

    Not sure if you already included April 12 , the day that Gagarin went to space or his birthday maybe ? he was indeed a great man , and certainly more important than Hooker :wink:

    Hi Marina,

    i think that it would be nice to include the 23rd of april, the International Day of the Book.

    The 23rd of april is St. George’s day (Sant Jordi in Catalonia) has been celebrated in Catalonia by the people giving each other books and roses. It’s a beautiful tradition. That day you see books and roses all over the towns. Recently it has been extended to the world as “International Day of the Book or World Book Days”

    FROM THE WIKIPEDIA:

    Origin

    The connection between 23 April and books was first made in 1923 by booksellers in Catalonia, Spain as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes who died on that day. This became a part of the celebrations of the Saint George’s Day (also 23 April) in the region, where it has been traditional since the medieval era for men to give roses to their lovers and since 1925 for the woman to give a book in exchange. Half the yearly sales of books in Catalonia are at this time with over 400,000 sold and exchanged for over 4 million roses.

    In 1995, UNESCO decided that the World Book and Copyright Day would be celebrated on this date because of the Catalonian festival and because the date is also the anniversary of the birth and death of William Shakespeare, the death of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and Josep Pla, the birth of Maurice Druon, Vladimir Nabokov, Manuel Mejía Vallejo and Halldór Laxness (Icelandic Nobel Prize Winner of Literature).

    Although 23 April is often stated as the anniversary of the deaths of both Shakespeare and Cervantes, this is not strictly correct. Cervantes died on 23 April according the Gregorian calendar; however, at this time England still used the Julian calendar. Whilst Shakespeare died on 23 April by the Julian calendar in use in his own country at the time, actually he died ten days after Cervantes, because of the discrepancy between the two date systems. The apparent correspondence of the two dates was a fortunate coincidence for UNESCO.

    I hope this doesn’t arrive to late.

      ummm… the calendars have already shipped.

        212.1.1

        hmm… what a pity.
        I was going to suggest that she include a small icon of a rose and a book for that day. It would have been a good point to help me mange to introduce Marina to our best comic TV showman. I think it could be possible for a couple of other reasons. His show is broadcasted by “La Sexta” TV channel (which published an article about Hotforwords), for all Spain,
