SUMMARY:Mother`s Day
DESCRIPTION:Mother`s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world. The American incarnation of Mother`s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday`s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary\, Mother`s Day traditionally involves presenting moms with flowers\, cards and other gifts.  \nhttps://www.history.com/topics/holidays/mothers-day

SUMMARY:St John the Baptist Day
DESCRIPTION:The first Grand Lodge was formed on 24 June the feast day of John the Baptist in 1717. This may arise from a very old tradition\, since the Baptist appears to have been regarded as the patron of stonemasons in continental Europe during the Middle Ages. The guild of masons and carpenters attached to Cologne Cathedral was known as the Fraternity of St. John the Baptist. The earliest surviving record of Grand Lodge of Ireland installing a Grand Master is dated to 24 June 1725. As records of individual lodges appear in Ireland and in the Antients in England\, it seems many of them met to install a new master twice a year\, on the feast days of both the Baptist and the Evangelist.  \nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s_Day\,_Masonic_feast

SUMMARY:Diwali
DESCRIPTION:Diwali\, or Dipawali\, is India’s biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row(avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. This festival is as important to Hindus as the Christmas holiday is to Christians.\nOver the centuries\, Diwali has become a national festival that’s also enjoyed by non-Hindu communities. For instance\, in Jainism\, Diwali marks the nirvana\, or spiritual awakening\, of Lord Mahavira on October 15\, 527 B.C.; in Sikhism\, it honors the day that Guru Hargobind Ji\, the Sixth Sikh Guru\, was freed from imprisonment. Buddhists in India celebrate Diwali as well. \nhttps://kids.nationalgeographic.com/pages/article/diwali

SUMMARY:Hanukkah
DESCRIPTION:Hanukkah is observed for eight nights and days\, starting on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar\, which may occur at any time from late November to late December in the Gregorian calendar. The festival is observed by lighting the candles of a candelabrum with nine branches\, called a menorah (or hanukkiah). One branch is typically placed above or below the others and its candle is used to light the other eight candles. This unique candle is called the shamash (Hebrew: _________\, “attendant”). Each night\, one additional candle is lit by the shamash until all eight candles are lit together on the final night of the festival.ÊOther Hanukkah festivities include singing Hanukkah songs\, playing the game of dreidel and eating oil-based foods\, such as latkes and sufganiyot\, and dairy foods. Since the 1970s\, the worldwide Chabad Hasidic movement has initiated public menorah lightings in open public places in many countries.\nAlthough a relatively minor holiday in strictly religious terms\, Hanukkah has attained major cultural significance in North America and elsewhere\, especially among secular Jews\, due to its occurring around the same time as Christmas.
