The National Acadian Day is observed in Canada each year on Au gust 15, celebrating the Assumption of Mary. It was during th e first National Convention of the Acadians held at Memramcook, New Brunswick, in 1881 that the Acadian leaders received the mandate t o set the date of this celebration.
The choice of the date was the ob ject of a debate at the convention between those wishing for Acadians to ce lebrate June 24, Saint-Jean-Baptist e Day, and National Day of French Canadians since 1834 and National Holiday of Quebec si nce 1977, and others wishing the celebration to occur on August 15.

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]

In Western Christianity, this day is observed principally in t he Catholic Church, although some churches of Anglican Communion an d the Old Catholic Churches also celebrate it. The Eastern Orthodox Church observes several All Souls' Days du ring the year. The Roman Catholic celebration is associated with the doctri ne that the souls of the faithful who at death have not been cleansed from the temporal punishment due to venial sins and from attachment to mortal sins c annot immediately attain the beatific vision in hea ven, and that they may be helped to do so by prayer and by the sacrifice of the < a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_(liturgy)" title="Mass (liturgy)" >Mass.[1] In other words, when they d ied, they had not yet attained full sanctification and moral perfection, a requirement for entrance into Heaven.

The Immaculate Conception is a dogma of the Catholic Church maintaining that the Blessed Virgin Mary was kept free of original sin from he r moment of conception and was filled with the sanctifying grace normally conferred during baptism.[2][3] It is one of the four dogmas in Roman Catholic Ma riology. Mary is often called the Immaculata (the Immaculate One), particularly in artistic and cultural contexts.[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>. It is not formal doctrine except in the Roman Catholic Church.[5] Th e Feast of the Immaculate Concept ion is observed on December 8 in many countries as a Holy Day of Obligation and in some places as a nation al or public holiday.

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]

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. The date of Easter therefor e varies between 22 March and 25 April. 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.

It is the first M onday in October in the Australian Capital Te rritory, New South Wales and South Australia.
