Upcoming important dates in April, Good Friday on April 18, Easter on April 20 and Earth Day on April 22.
Earth Day, celebrated annually, is a global event aimed at raising awareness and promoting environmental protection, with its origins dating back to 1970 when a national demonstration was organized to address environmental issues.
Good Friday is a solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary, observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum. It’s a day of remembrance, reflection, and prayer, marking a significant event in Christian faith.
Easter is one of the most important Christian holidays, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter marks the joyful end to the Lenten season of fasting and penitence.
