World Health Day is a day dedicated to raising awareness about health issues and promoting well-being for everyone, everywhere. Events include public health campaigns, educational programs, and advocacy initiatives that address specific health themes each year. The day emphasizes the importance of universal health coverage, equitable access to healthcare, and the role of individuals and communities in maintaining good health. World Health Day serves as a platform to mobilize action and resources to tackle global health challenges and work towards creating a fairer and healthier world for all.

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.
