Using the calendar above, you'll find holidays, annual events, anniversaries and more for any particular day in April.  Looking below, you'll find holidays and events for the month itself, and also for each particular week.

Even the division of the calendar year into months and weeks is a reason to celebrate... if for no other reason than being able to tick off another one that we survived.  Time is fleeting, so let's have some fun!  The fourth month of the Gregorian calendar and named for the Roman Goddess Aphrodite (Latin name, Aprillis).  Aprillis also means "to open", describing the month when trees and flowers began to grow.  April is sacred to several deities including Artemis, Terra, Astarte, Venus, Ying-Hua and Aphrodite.

We have also broken out which of this month's events are movable throughout the month and which might or might not be in this month.
