Daily Holidays - June 21

National Cherry Tart Day It is thought that the origins of Cherry Tart Day date back to the annual National Cherry Festival held in Michigan, USA. Cherries were plentiful in supply but their uses were limited. Although cherries are grown on several continents, they have a relatively short growing season. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cherry-tart-day/

World Music Day It’s hard to imagine any culture where music doesn’t play a vital role. The benefits of music for the human soul are intangible, but they are immense. Music opens up new worlds for people. It can be used to tell stories, to inspire, or to help people relax. On World Music Day, people all around the world come together to celebrate the incredible power of music. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-music-day/

World Humanist Day The main point of World Humanist Day is to try and make the world a better place by increasing the public’s knowledge of scientific methods in hope that it will dispel many age-old myths. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-humanist-day/

Humanism was about literary criticism and ethics.
