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 Palm Sunday, celebrated by Eastern Orthodox Christians, marks the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. The day is also known as "Entry into Jerusalem Sunday" and is observed on the Sunday before Easter. Orthodox Christians commemorate the event by carrying palm branches and participating in processions, symbolizing the crowd's welcome of Jesus with palm leaves. Church services include special prayers, hymns, and the blessing of palm branches. Orthodox Palm Sunday serves as a joyous and festive prelude to Holy Week, as the faithful reflect on the significance of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem and anticipate the events leading to his crucifixion and resurrection.
