The Morning Mail – Feb 24th, 2023

On this date in 1852, Pope Gregory VIII introduced his new calendar—the one we all use today. In 1868 US House of Representatives voted 126 to 47 to impeach President Andrew Johnson. And in 2022, Vladamir Putin Invaded Ukraine.

February 24th is Flag Day in Mexico, National Tortilla Chip Day (US), Tartar Sauce, Skip the Straw, and Trading Card Day. It’s also Friday Fish Fry Day, and I hate Coriander Day. If you are Romanian (or identify as one), it’s Dragobete Day. (?)

 

Dragobete, a traditional Romanian observance, is celebrated on 24 February each year, 10 days after Valentine’s Day, and is a day dedicated to love and nature. With the month of February marking the onset of spring, all of nature itself seems to be in celebration, as birds begin to mate and build their nests during this time. For that reason, this day is also known as the day when ‘birds are betrothed’, and, in turn, this promising sign inspires Romanian youth to pursue their own future ‘mates’. Why the name Dragobete though? Legend has it that he was the son of Baba Dochia, the goddess who ushered in spring, and because of his unending kindness, he was blessed by the Virgin Mary, to be the guardian of love.
