Argentina - National Sovereignty Day
National Sovereignty Day is celebrated in Argentina every year on the fourth Monday in November. This is a national holiday, that is celebrated since 2010.
The first mentions about National Sovereignty Day date back to 1954, when José María Rosa proposed to establish this holiday. He chose an important historical event, that deserved commemoration. It was the Battle of Vuelta de Obligado, fought on November 20, 1845. During the battle a small Argentine army led by Juan Manuel de Rosas stood against an Anglo-French navy, that broke into the Paraná River. The battle ended with Argentinian defeat, but France and Britain also suffered great losses, that eventually led to the bargaining trade and signing of a peace treaty.

Iran - Birth of Prophet Muhammad and of Imam Jafar al-Sadiq
On the 17th day of Rabi’ al-awwal (the 3rd month in the Islamic calendar), Iranian Muslims celebrate two important religious observances: the birth of Prophet Muhammad and of Imam Jafar al-Sadiq. This day is a public holiday in Iran.
Muhammad is the central figure in Islam, and the observance of his birthday (Mawlid) is one of the most important holidays for Muslims. According to most of the Sunni scholars, the Prophet was born on 12 Rabi’ al-awwal, so the majority of Muslims celebrate it on this day. Shia Muslims, however, celebrate Mawlid on 17 Rabi’ al-awwal.
According to the Islamic doctrine, Muhammad was the God’s messenger and the last prophet sent by God. When he was 40, Muhammad encountered the angel Gabriel, and the first words of the Quran were revealed to him. Although he was initially perplexed by the new experience, Muhammad eventually came to terms with it and began to preach Islam publicly. He met his fair share of hostility during his lifetime, most of the Arabian Peninsula had converted to Islam before Muhammad’s death.
