Prince Kūhiō Day is a state holiday in Hawaii to commemorate the birthday of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole. A prominent leader and advocate for the rights of Native Hawaiians, Prince Kūhiō played a key role in the establishment of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, which aimed to provide homesteads for Native Hawaiians. Events on this day include cultural festivities, parades, and educational programs that celebrate the heritage and contributions of Native Hawaiians. Prince Kūhiō Day serves as a reminder of the resilience of Hawaii's indigenous people and their ongoing efforts to preserve and promote their cultural heritage.

Palm Sunday is a significant Christian observance that falls on the Sunday before Easter Sunday. It commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, as described in the Bible, when crowds greeted Him by waving palm branches and laying their cloaks on the road to honor Him as a king. This day marks the beginning of Holy Week, a period of reflection and devotion leading up to Easter. Palm Sunday services often include the blessing of palm branches, which are distributed to the congregation, followed by a procession into the church to reenact Jesus' entry into Jerusalem.
