The event is celebrated as Columbus Day in the United States, as Día de la Ra za in many countries in Latin America, as Discovery Day in the Bahamas, as Día de la Hispanidad, Fiesta Nacional in Spain, Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural (Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity) in Argentina and as Día de las Américas (Day of the Americas) in Uruguay.

Columbus Day first bec ame an official state holiday in Colorado in 1906, and became a federal holiday in 1937, though pe ople have celebrated Columbus' voyage since the colonial period. In 1792, N ew York City and other U.S. cities celebrated the 300th anniversary of his landing in the New World. President Benjamin Harrison called up on the people of the United States to celebrate Columbus Day on the 400th a nniversary of the event. During the four hundredth anniversary in 1892, tea chers, preachers, poets and politicians used Columbus Day rituals to teach ideals of patriotism. These patriotic rituals were framed around themes suc h as support for war, citizenship boundaries, the importance of loyalty to the nation, and celebrating social progress.[1] [2]

In the Western calendar it is the day after Halloween and the day before All Souls' Day.
In Western Christian theology, the d ay commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countr ies. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the n ext day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet be en purif ied and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and Al l Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spir itual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Churc h Suffering'), those in heaven (the 'church triumphant'), and the living (the 'church mili tant'). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Met hodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians a nd therefore, on All Saint's Day, the Church Univ ersal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honoured and remembered.[2][4]

The Immacu late Conception should not be confused with the Virginity of Mary or the Virgin birth of Jesus; it refers to the conception of Mar y by her mother, Saint Anne. Although the belief was widely held since at lea st Late Antiquity, the doctrine was not formally proclaimed until Dec ember 8, 1854, by Pope Pius IX in his papal bull Ineffabilis Deus< /a>.

New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first d ay of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as th e Julian calendar used in ancient Rome. With most countries using the Gregorian calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the close st thing to being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated wi th firew orks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts. January 1 on the J ulian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian c alendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.[1]
The Romans dedicated this day to Jan us, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. After Julius Caesar reform ed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate vo ted to deify him on the 1st January 42 BC < span>[2] in honor of his life and his institu tion of the new rationalized calendar.[3] The month originally owes its name to th e deity Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. This suggests that New Year's celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Some have suggested this occurred in 153 BC, when it was stipulated that the two annual consuls (after whose names the years were identified) entered into off ice on that day, though no consensus exists on the matter.[4] Dates in March, coin ciding with the spring equinox, or commemorating the Annunciation of Jesus, along with a variety of Christian feast dates were used throughout the Middle Ages, though calendars often continued to display the months in columns runni ng from January to December.[citation needed]

Labour Day or Labor Day is an annual holiday to celeb rate the economic and social achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight- hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours fo r recreation, and eight hours for rest.
Celebrating the Australian labour movement, the Labour Day public holiday is fixed by the various state a nd territory governments, and so varies considerably. It is the first M onday in October in the Australian Capital Te rritory, New South Wales and South Australia.
