2 1st OF DECEMBER

3 World AIDS day. World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, with an estimated 38.6 million people living with HIV making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 3.1 million (between 2.8 and 3.6 million) lives in 2005, of which more than half a million (570,000) were children.

5 International Day of Disabled Persons International Day of Disabled Persons (December 3) is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since 1992. It has been celebrated with varying degrees of success around the planet. Typically, the Day's activities are mounted by unpaid volunteers. Unless non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or governments step up to support the Day, effects will vary greatly from country to country, and year to year.

8 25th OF DECEMBER

9 Christmas Christmas, also referred to as Christmas Day or Christmastide, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that marks and honours the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. His birth, which is the basis for the Anno Domini system of dating, has been determined by modern historians as having occurred between 7 and 2 BC. The date of celebration is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and may have been chosen to coincide with ancient Roman solar festivals that were held on December 25.

10 Saints’ Calendar The Calendar of saints is a traditional Christian method of organizing a liturgical year on the level of days by associating each day with one or more saints, and referring to the day as that saint's feast day. The system arose from the very early Christian custom of annual commemoration of martyrs on the dates of their deaths, or birth into heaven (and thus referred to in Latin as dies natalis, "day of birth"). As the number of recognized saints increased during Late Antiquity and roughly the first half of the Middle Ages, eventually every day of the year had at least one saint who was commemorated on that date. Eventually, some saints were moved to another day in some traditions, or completely removed; thus, some saints do have more than one day. The General Roman Calendar in its various forms contains only a selection of the saints of each day.

11 31st OF DECEMBER

12 December 31 is the 365th day of the year ( 366th in leap years ) in the Gregorian calendar. There are no days remaining until the end of the year. It is the last day of the Gregorian year. The day following is January 1 of the next year. In Spain and some other Latin American countries farewell year with the custom of eating twelve grapes at midnight accompanied by the chimes of midnight on December 31. Note that, as a curiosity, at the end of 1999 was held the "Festival of the Millennium".
