March 25: Bangladesh Genocide Remembrance Day

Coxey's Army, the first significant American protest march - what about Shays' Rebellion? -- Zoe
Removed, as it doesn't sound like a major anniversary to me:
The date of the Annunciation of the BVM being on 25 March is ONLY EXCEPTED IN CATHOLICISM! Dionysus Exegius was not the first to say that 25 March was Christ's Conceptionday, Even if he was the first to choose the year. I think that the disclaimer should say "(traditional date in Catholicism)" since no other religion belives that Christ was concived that day, and it was not first suggested by Dionysus, but is part of Catholic tradition and was celebrated since Christmas was celebrated. StThomasMore 03:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
The traditional date of Christ's death is 25 March. A tradition among the Jews during the time of Christ was that the great prophets died on the date of their conception. Proof of this belief is found at the following Catholic Encyclopedia articles:
From "Easter"
In Gaul a number of bishops, wishing to escape the difficulties of the paschal computation, seem to have assigned Easter to a fixed date of the Roman calendar, celebrating the death of Christ on 25 March, His Resurrection on 27 March (Marinus Dumiensis in P.L., LXXII, 47-51), since already in the third century 25 March was considered the day of the Crucifixion (Computus Pseudocyprianus, ed. Lersch, Chronologie, II, 61)
From "Christmas"
The astronomical theory. Duchesne (Les origines du culte chrétien, Paris, 1902, 262 sqq.) advances the "astronomical" theory that, given 25 March as Christ's death-day [...a tradition old as Tertullian (Adv. Jud., 8)], the popular instinct, demanding an exact number of years in a Divine life, would place His conception on the same date, His birth 25 December. This theory is best supported by the fact that certain Montanists (Sozomen, Hist. Eccl., VII, 18) kept Easter on 6 April; both 25 December and 6 January are thus simultaneously explained. The reckoning, moreover, is wholly in keeping with the arguments based on number and astronomy and "convenience", then so popular. StThomasMore 01:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
In 2008, the Feast of the Annunciation will take place on 31 March. How can we reflect this in the respective articles? Carolynparrishfan ( talk) 20:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
What underground meeting is this? Felicity4711 ( talk) 03:19, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Do we need all of the information currently in the lead of the article? The Annunciation is at least partly covered in the Holidays and Observances section, and it seems to me the connection to the Fiscal year is for the most part specific to Commonwealth nations. If Adam's creation or the conception and crucifixion of Christ are actually "widely celebrated" they may belong in the H&O section, but not in the lead. As for the Divine Comedy part, that's a fictional event. I'm tempted to remove almost everything in the lead. Winston365 ( talk) 04:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I've removed one globally celebrity from the birth dates. Some of them are not globally notable enough. It will not be removed too many and but a little bit if they non-universally notable Thank you Shiesmine ( talk) 15:28, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
OK: I took the note about the Jack Stauber album release, down: as far as I can tell, it not necessary notable.

Marie-Alphonsine Danil Ghattas was canonized in 2015. Therefore the word 'blessed' should be removed. -- 2607:FEA8:D5DF:F3D9:AC99:D2B7:A37A:537A ( talk) 16:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
An IP editor made a wp:bold edit to introduce this line to "Holidays and observances"
I reverted it, giving as my reason that the event is not internationally notable, that it is restricted to one city in Italy.
To avoid a wp:edit war, policy WP:Bold, revert, discuss invites us to consider the case here and come to a consensus, rather that revert and counter-revert.
Some observations:
"Festa del Popolo Veneto" site:it.wikipedia.org
nor "Festa del Popolo del Veneto" site:it.wikipedia.org
find anything. Not its own article, not even mentioned in any article in any way.So I invite the ip editor to demonstrate that the event is significant outside Italy. It doesn't have to be as well known as the Carnevale or the Venice Biennale. As party to the dispute, I leave it to others to judge the case on its merits. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 16:28, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

There already appear to be several debates about the Annunciation on this page which I don't wish to be involved in. However, one thing I do not understand is why the Feast of the Annunciation, celebrated on March 25 (at least in Western Christianity and maybe Eastern?), is not listed under #Holidays and observances. Regardless of the controversy over the conception, birth, and death of Jesus on this page, the feast celebrating the event is celebrated on this date and so should be included under "Christian feast days". I myself cannot enter it due to page restrictions. SwensonJ ( talk) 00:56, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
