Today, March 24, all persistent people on our planet can join the International Day of Achievement, UNN writes.
Today's event is a celebration of purposeful, ambitious and self-confident people. This day honors and recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to their chosen fields.
When you achieve something, it means that you have successfully completed a task. The word "achieve" can also mean "complete". There are different kinds of accomplishments. For some people, it might mean simply reading a certain number of books in a month.
Others achieve their goals when it comes to weight loss or exercise. In addition to personal achievements, many have professional achievements.
Today, those with a sweet tooth can join the celebration of Chocolate Covered Raisin Day. The event was launched in the United States and has gradually become popular in many countries around the world.
In America, one of the most popular snacks for moviegoers, besides popcorn, is chocolate covered raisins. They were first introduced in 1927 by the Blumenthal Brothers chocolate company from Philadelphia.
The vitamins and minerals contained in dried fruits are not lost when they are covered in chocolate, so the candy contains about 1% of the recommended daily value of vitamin E and small amounts of vitamins A and K. It also contains 77 milligrams of iron and small amounts of zinc and potassium.
On March 24, events are also being held to mark the International Day for the Right to the Truth about Gross Human Rights Violations and Abuses and the Dignity of Victims.
The event was introduced in honor of the Catholic priest from El Salvador, Oscar Romero. He was shot and killed by Salvadoran soldiers on March 24, 1980, the day after Oscar Romero called on Salvadoran soldiers during a service, addressing them as God-fearing Christians, to stop senseless violence and unjustified human rights violations.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of St. Artemius of Thessalonica, who lived in Asia Minor.
According to legend, Artemii believed in the Lord and was baptized after meeting the Apostle Paul.
After that, Artemii became a preacher himself and managed to convert many people to Christianity. For a long time he was a bishop in the city of Seleucia.
Despite the persecution of Christians, Artemii managed to live to a ripe old age.
On March 24, Artem, Zakhar, and Petro celebrate their name days.
