Special events and other funny days

April 2 we celebrate National DIY Day.

We spend a lot of money getting other people to do things for us—cut our hair, fix our cars and computers, mow our lawns, bake our cakes…you get the picture. And true, there are things that we would prefer to have experts with knowledge and experience doing for us, like performing surgery or filling out our tax papers.

Maundy Thursday (Holiday)

Maundy Thursday is the Christian celebration of Jesus' last meal with the disciples before the crucifixion, and thus the introduction of the Lord's Supper. The word means "cleansing Thursday", and comes from the Norse skíra, "cleanse" (sker = clean). Maundy Thursday is a public holiday that is celebrated on the last Thursday before Easter. The earliest date for Maundy Thursday is March 19 and the latest is April 22.
