American Egg Throwing Tradition Day
The Egg Throwing Tradition Day originated in the United States and is held on September 6 every year. What’s unique is that this game also features a world championship, you know!
There is a sport called “Egg Throwing”. Egg throwing is usually associated with Easter in America, but is now celebrated year-round.
The history of this egg throwing game dates back to 1322, in the village of Lincolnshire, in the United States. In medieval times, the only owners of hens encouraged church attendance by giving residents an egg as alms.
Then, at Easter, an egg-throwing festival was held at the church. At that time, the priest of the church distributed boiled eggs to all those who were then thrown in the middle of the church.
Then there is also the World Federation of Egg Throwers which is the official body that organizes the world championships. The World Federation Egg Throwing Championships have been held annually in Swaton, England on the last Sunday in June since 2006.
Bonaire Flag Day
Bonaire Flag Day is celebrated on September 6 every year. This day is also a traditional public holiday celebrated in Bonaire, an island city in the Netherlands.
Did the detikers know that the Dutch Caribbean does not have a single national flag? They use the Dutch flag instead. But the islands also have their own flags.
The Bonaire region was originally inhabited by the Arawak Indians, who came from neighboring Venezuela. According to researchers, they have lived on Bonaire since the year 1000 AD.
But in 1499, the Spanish Empire claimed the island of Bonaire. For more than 100 years, Spain controlled the island. But in 1636, the Dutch won the 80-year war and took control of the island. It was then called “the era of confusion”.
After several years of confusion and uproar over the various constitutional forms over the years, Bonaire finally regained its Dutch status in 1816.
The Bonaire flag was then created and hoisted in 1981. One of the creators of the famous Bonaire flag is Whitney Smith, an American vexillologist.
Janmashtami festival by Hindus
Janmashtami is celebrated on the eighth day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Bhadrapada Sharavana which this year falls on September 6. According to the National Today website, this festival is one of the most important Hindu festivals.
Janmashtami is organized to celebrate the birth of Lord Krishna as the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu, who conveys the important message of ‘Bhagwat Gita’, the guiding principle of all Hindus.
Sri Krishna was born in Mathura on the eighth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Bhadrapada. He is the son of Devaki and Vasudeva.
Mathura, the residence of Sri Krishna, and Vrindavan, the city where he spent most of his childhood, notably celebrate the festival. Temples dedicated to Krishna hold ceremonies and prayers in India and other countries.
Not only in India, Janmashtami festival is celebrated by Hindus all over the world. In Nepal and Bangladesh, for example, Janmashtami is a national holiday. Additionally, Sri Krishna has been worshiped in Mauritius since the 18th century by the ‘Jahazi Bhais’, a group of ids belonging to various castes.
