State Holiday Alaska Day (Alaska)
Alaska Day commemorates the transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States on October 18, 1867. This state holiday celebrates Alaska's rich history and diverse cultures, including its indigenous heritage. The day is marked by parades, historical reenactments, and community festivals across the state, especially in Sitka, where the official transfer ceremony occurred. It's a time for Alaskans to reflect on their state's journey and achievements, and for visitors to explore Alaska's unique beauty and cultural tapestry. Alaska Day provides an opportunity to honor the state's past while looking forward to its future, celebrating the resilience and spirit of its people and the majestic natural environment.
Sukkot
Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, is a joyous Jewish festival that commemorates the wandering of the Israelites in the desert for 40 years and celebrates the gathering of the harvest. The holiday lasts for seven days, during which families build and dwell in temporary structures called sukkahs. These sukkahs, often beautifully decorated with fruits, flowers, and other natural materials, symbolize the temporary shelters used by the Israelites and represent reliance on God. Sukkot is a time of hospitality and communal gathering, where meals are shared in the sukkah, and it's customary to welcome guests. The festival also includes the waving of the lulav and etrog, important agricultural symbols. Sukkot combines the celebration of nature's bounty with a reflection on gratitude and dependence on divine protection.
