Christmas

In the Western world, the birthday of Jesus Christ has been celebrated on December 25th since AD 354, replacing an earlier date of January 6th. The Christians had by then appropriated many pagan festivals and traditions of the season, that were practiced in many parts of the Middle East and Europe, as a means of stamping them our. New Christmas customs appeared in the Middle Ages. The most prominent contribution was the carol, which by the 14th century had become associated with the religious observance of the birth of Christ.The practice of putting up special decorations at Christmas has a long history. From pre-Christian times, evergreen plants had been brought indoors throughout the Roman Empire. Such customs were eventually adapted for Christian usage. In the fifteenth century it is recorded that in London it was the custom at Christmas for every house and all the parish churches to be "decked with holm, ivy, bays, and whatsoever the season of the year afforded to be green"

Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada.Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks to God for the harvest and express gratitude to others for our many blessings. While historically religious in origin, Thanksgiving is now primarily identified as a secular holiday.


The "First" Thanksgiving
The date and location of the first Thanksgiving celebration is a topic of modest contention. The traditional "first Thanksgiving" is the celebration that occurred at the site of Plymouth Plantation in 1621. The Plymouth celebration occurred early in the history of what would become one of the original thirteen colonies that became the United States. . The celebration became an important part of the American myth by the 1800s. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada. Thanksgiving dinner is held on this day, usually as a gathering of family members and friends.

Rock al Parque

BY:

JOSE ALEJANDRO TAMAYO

•The first edition of the festival was held in 1995. Its origins can be traced to the Youth Music meetings that were held at the city Planetarium since 1992. The people responsible for these meetings were Mario Duarte, member of the defunct band 'La Derecha', whose objective was to garner support from Bogota's Institute of Culture and Tourism; and Julio Correal, an entrepeneur and concert promoter who ran several youth-oriented community programs within the city. The first edition of the festival was held between May 26th and May 29th, 1995, in different venues, such as the 'Media Torta' (Spanish for 'Half Cake', an outdoor theater named because its general shape resembles that of a cake that has been cut in half), Simón Bolívar Park, Olaya Herrera Stadium, and the Santa María Bullfighting Ring. This last venue was the only one to charge admission; however, after 1996, the festival did not employ the second stage at the Santa María Bullfighting Ring, thus making the festival completely free.
•Soon after, 'Rock al Parque' developed several offshoots, such as seminars, workshops, conferences, and lectures hosted by academics and other important guests.
•The festival, which originally only hosted acts that played rock music, was gradually opened up to include other genres, such as punk, reggae, ska and blues. Due to this increase in diversity, the festival's organizers started scheduling bands so that different types of music could play alongside one another, as opposed to grouping acts by genre.
