Tutorial Mini Contributor | February 14, 2012

In March, there were some important events that characterize this world. Start of Women’s History Month to Saint Joseph’s Day.

TutorialMini in the third month of the year 2012 would also like to share the excitement by presenting a list of important days in March. The following is a list of important days are just there in March:

Women’s History Month
Women’s History Month is an annual declared month worldwide that highlights contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society. March has been set aside as this month in the United Kingdom and in the United States. In India, this month is celebrated in October and corresponds with the celebration of Persons Day, which is October 18.
World Maths Day
World Maths Day (World Math Day in American English) is an online international mathematics competition. In 2007, World Maths Day was originally held on the March 14 (Pi Day), and then on the 1st Wednesday in March in subsequent years. Despite these origins, the phrases “World Maths Day” and “World Math Day” are trademarks and not to be confused with other competitions such as the International Mathematical Olympiad or days such as Pi Day. In 2011, World Maths Day was held on Tuesday 1 March. Registrations opened on 1 February 2011.The 2012 event is set to occur on the 7th of March and will be part of the World Education Games.
International Women’s Day (IWD)
International Women’s Day (IWD), originally is called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year.[1] In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women’s economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother’s Day and St Valentine’s Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.
World Water Day
Water is a basic requirement for all life, yet water resources are facing increasing demands from, and competition among, users. In 1992, the UN General Assembly designated 22 March of each year as the World Day for Water.
Saint Patrick’s Day
Saint Patrick’s Day(Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig; Ulster-Scots: Saunt Petherick’s Day) is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated internationally on 17 March. It commemorates Saint Patrick (c. AD 387–461), the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland, and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican Communion (especially the Church of Ireland), the Eastern Orthodox Church and Lutheran Church. Saint Patrick’s Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century, and has gradually become a secular celebration of Irish culture in general.
Saint Joseph’s Day
Saint Joseph’s Day, March 19, the Feast of St. Joseph is in Western Christianity the principal feast day of Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It has the rank of a solemnity in the Roman Catholic Church; traditional Catholics celebrate it as a double of the first class.
