Holidays Around the World

Holidays Around the World is exactly what it says. I bring you today's holiday from all over the globe and try to give you a little background on it when I think it's necessary.

Commemoration Day - Netherlands

Remembrance of the Dead or Dodenherdenking commemorates all civilians and members of the armed forces of the Kingdom of the Netherlands who have died in wars or peacekeeping missions since the outbreak of World War II.

Greenery Day - Japan

As its name suggests, it is a day to commune with nature and to be thankful for blessings. In practice it is seen as just another day that expands the Japanese Golden Week vacation.

Literary Day - Taiwan
Youth Day - China
