labor DAY
September 2nd
Labor Day is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday of September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States.
Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.
GRANDPARENTS DAY
September 8
Grandparents' Day or National Grandparents' Day is a secular holiday celebrated in various countries; it is celebrated to show the bond between grandparents and grandchildren. It occurs on various days of the year, either as one holiday or sometimes as a separate Grandmother's Day and Grandfather's Day. It was celebrated for the first time in Poland in 1965.
National Hispanic Heritage Month (NHHM) begins on September 15th every year and runs for 30 days, ending on October 15th. The month celebrates the cultures, histories, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors are from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. The month's start date is significant because it coincides with the independence days of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, which all declared independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. Mexico and Chile also celebrate their independence days on September 16th and September 18th, respectively.
NHHM began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. The month also includes "Dia de la Raza" on October 12th, which is the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas. Historically, this day has been a celebration of the fusion of European culture in Central and South America, but it has also come to be recognized as a time to acknowledge the destructive impact on native peoples.
CONSTITUTION DAY
Tuesday
Sep 17, 2024
Constitution Day (or Citizenship Day) is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is normally observed on September 17, the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia. When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or on another holiday, schools and other institutions observe the holiday on an adjacent weekday. The law establishing the present holiday was created in 2004 with the passage of an amendment by Senator Robert Byrd to the omnibus spending bill of 2004. Before this law was enacted, the holiday was known as "Citizenship Day" and celebrated on the third Sunday in May. In addition to renaming the holiday "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day," the act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions, and all federal agencies, provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day. In May 2005, the United States Department of Education announced the enactment of this law and that it would apply to any school receiving federal funds of any kind.
SEPTEMBER 22, FIRST DAY OF AUTUMN
The fall equinox and the first day of autumn arrives on Sunday, September 22, 2024, at 08:44 A.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere. The equinox occurs at the same moment worldwide.
The autumn equinox, also known as Mabon in some pagan traditions, is a time of change, reflection, and gratitude that marks the transition from summer to fall. Here are some rituals you can try to celebrate the autumn equinox: Declutter and cleanse, Express gratitude, Connect with nature, Decorate your home, Feast, Practice Apple Magic - Peel an apple in one long piece and drop it on the floor. The letter the peel forms may be the first initial of your true lover's name.
