HAPPY EASTER

 

Most children have holidays at school coinciding with Easter, a time to enjoy a few days of rest without classes or homework, to travel with the family and to taste and eat all kinds of recipes related to Easter. However, we cannot forget its meaning and why Easter is celebrated all over the world.

During Holy Week, the Passion, death and resurrection of Christ are remembered. On Holy Thursday, the day on which the Last Supper is commemorated, the religious liturgy takes on its greatest importance, as Christ's suffering on his march to Calvary and his subsequent crucifixion is remembered.

Holy Week concludes on Sunday, with Easter, recalling and celebrating the passage from death to life of Christ, the Son of God. It is precisely at Easter that the whole life of Christianity is based on and revolves around. Its tradition is ancient and it is a feast that is celebrated by more than one billion faithful around the world.

FATHER´S DAY

 

In Spain, Father's Day is celebrated every March 19 to coincide with  Saint Joseph's Day, which as you may already know is about the father of Jesus, so that in some way the figure of this father is linked with that of all parents in the world, but what originated this party or celebration? In 1948 it was decided to commemorate Father's Day in Spain for the first time, completely linked to the history of a woman and a school. Manuela Vicente Ferrero, a teacher by profession, decided to celebrate this day with her students at the Belmonte  school, located in Madrid's Dehesa de la Villa. In Spain it is a tradition on Father's Day to meet as a family with parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and give them a present that symbolizes our love for them. In schools, children often make crafts to give to dad.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

 

On Monday March 8 is International Women's Day. This day commemorates women's struggle for equal rights to work and benefits in relation to men.

The celebration did not have a very positive beginning since, in 1908, a group of women in the city of New York were burned after a strike for defending certain rights as workers and women.

Because of this event, the 8th of March is commemorated as the international day of women and women's rights.

In 1910, the 2nd International Conference of Socialist Women established 8 March as International Working Women's Day.
