Holy
Innocents Day – This is a day
when Christians remember all of the young male children in the
Bethlehem area that King Herod ordered executed in an attempt to kill
the baby King of the Jews whom he believed would attempt to take his
throne. We don't know how many were killed and some historians
dispute that it happened at all.
Card
Playing Day – This
is a day to relax with friends and/or family and play cards together.
After the hectic pace of the holidays, you are due for a nice
relaxing break.Pledge of Allegiance Day – On this day in 1945, the United States Congress recognized the Pledge of Allegiance as an American flag salute. The original version was written by Baptist minister Francis Bellamy somewhere around 1900 give or take a few years. It was revised to include the words “under God” in 1950.
To
celebrate today, have all the innocents in your house help you to
recite the Pledge of Allegiance and then sit down and play a great
card game.
