Happy Prešern's Day! It is holiday in Slovenia. We celebrate Culture Day or Prešeren's Day. Prešeren was or great poet. I read almost all his works and liked them.
Do you have any similar holidays?

Lcsmcat I wish we had holidays for poets and culture! Unfortunately, the US mostly likes to honor ward and politicians. 5y
Geenie No poets days or culture days, but in America on Martin Luther King Day the schools are closed as we celebrate an African American preacher and black rights activist who fought and died for black freedom and equality in America. Have you heard of this day there? 5y
