The International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action is dedicated to raising awareness about the impact of landmines and the importance of mine action in conflict-affected areas. Events and activities focus on educating communities about the risks associated with landmines, promoting mine clearance efforts, and providing assistance to those affected by explosive remnants of war. The day underscores the humanitarian efforts to create safer environments, facilitate reconstruction, and support the victims of landmines. It serves as a call to action for governments, organizations, and individuals to contribute to global mine action efforts and work towards a world free from the threat of landmines.

Orthodox Good Friday is a solemn and contemplative day observed by Eastern Orthodox Christians, marking the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is a day of deep reflection on the Passion of Christ, as believers mourn the sacrificial death on the cross. Church services include the reading of the Twelve Passion Gospels, processions, and veneration of the Holy Shroud, symbolizing the burial of Christ. The atmosphere is one of solemnity and reverence as the faithful meditate on the profound significance of Christ's sacrifice for the redemption of humanity. Orthodox Good Friday is part of the Holy Week leading up to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
