Quebec's National Holiday[1] (
French: La Fête nationale du
Québec) is celebrated annually on June 24, St. John the Baptist Day
Canada Day (French: Fête du Canada) is the national day of Canada, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary o
f the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act, 1867 (today called the
Constitution Act, 1867, in Canada), which united thr
ee British colonies into a single country, called Canada, w
ithin the British Empire.[1
Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday", particularly in the popular
press,[4][5][6] the occasion marks the
joining of the British North American colonies of Nova Scot
ia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a
federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the
process, into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. Canada became a kingdom in its own right o
n that date,[n 1][8][9][10][11] but the British Parliament kept limited righ
ts of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over
the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982 when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution.[n 2]
Nunavut Day is a public holiday in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
On July 9, 1993 , following the passing of the 1982 plebiscite on the question of the division of the Northwest Territories, the Parlia ment of Canada passed the Nunavut Act, establishing the territory of Nunavut, t o come into operation sometime in the future. On April 1, 1999, Nunavut bec ame a legally distinct territory from the Northwest Territories, coming int o being as a territory on this date. The following year, in 2000, 'Nunavut Day' was celebrated on April 1. However, it was felt that the 1993 Nunavut Land Claims Agreement had greater signi ficance to the people of Nunavut, so the holiday was moved to July 9 the fo llowing year.[1]

These typically build up to the 12 July celebrations which mark Prince William of Orang e's victory over King James II at the Battl e of the Boyne in 1690. Although the term 'march' or 'parade' is widely used in the m edia, the Order prefers terms such as 'walk' or 'demonstration'.
The 'marching season' generally refers to the m onths April to August in Northern Ireland and includes marches by groups su ch as the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Apprentice Boys of Derry, and the Royal Black Institution as well as the Orange Order. The Orange Or der however, is by far the most prolific marching group. Typically each Ora nge Lodge will hold its own march at some point before the 12th of July, ac companied by at least one marching band. On the 12th of July each district will hold a larger parade consisting of all the lodges in that district, so metimes with the addition of lodges from outside Northern Ireland. This is particularly the case with the Belfast district, whose parade commonly feat ures several Scottish lodges and often some from other countries. In most d istricts the location of the parade will vary from year to year, rotating a round suitable towns. Belfast is an exception, keeping more or less the sam e route for many decades. The only major parade after the Twelfth is on the last Sunday in October, when lodges celebrate Reformation Day by p arading to church.

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in rel ation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[8] Ecclesiastically, th e equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, as tronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is n ot necessarily the astronomically correct date.

Eastern Christianity< /a> bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March co rresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian c alendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Events include egg rolling competitions and, in predominantly Roman Catholic countries, dousing other peopl e with water which traditionally had been blessed with holy water the day bef ore at Easter Sunday Mass and carried home to bless the house and food.
