Local fishermen were struggling to catch fish in the Paraíba River as they prepared for the visit of a regional governor\, Dom Pedro de Almeida e Portugal\, Count of Assumar. \nThree fishermen\, Domingos Garcia\, João Alves\, and Filipe Pedroso\, prayed to the Virgin Mary for help. Casting their nets\, they first pulled up a small clay statue of a headless figure from the river. When they cast their nets again\, they found the missing head. After retrieving and cleaning the statue\, they continued fishing\, and to their astonishment\, their nets filled with fish. \nThe fishermen took this as a miracle\, and word of the event spread quickly. The little dark-skinned clay statue\, later recognized as Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception\, came to be affectionately called Nossa Senhora Aparecida\, meaning "Our Lady Who Appeared". \nThe statue was first kept in the home of Filipe Pedroso\, where neighbors gathered to pray. Reports of miracles and healings attributed to Our Lady of Aparecida multiplied\, and devotion to her spread across the region. In 1745\, a small chapel was built to house the statue\, and by 1834\, a larger church\, the Old Basilica\, was constructed to accommodate growing numbers of pilgrims. \nIn 1904\, Pope Pius X authorized the canonical coronation of Our Lady of Aparecida\, officially recognizing her as a sacred symbol of devotion. Later\, in 1930\, Pope Pius XI declared her the Patroness of Brazil\, cementing her status as a national spiritual figure. \nThe Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida\, built to replace the older church\, began construction in 1955 and was completed in 1980. That same year\, Pope John Paul II visited Brazil and consecrated the new basilica\, recognizing it as one of the largest Marian shrines in the world. In 1980\, the Brazilian government officially established October 12 as a national holiday dedicated to Our Lady of Aparecida\, blending religious reverence with cultural celebration. \nToday\, millions of pilgrims visit the Basilica of Aparecida each year\, especially on October 12\, walking\, cycling or even traveling long distances on foot to express devotion and gratitude.

Public admiration for Lincoln's leadership and sacrifice during a tumultuous period in U.S. history inspired communities to commemorate his birth. \nIn 1874\, Buffalo\, New York\, was among the first places to hold organized events marking Lincoln's Birthday. By the late 19th century\, several states\, particularly in the North\, began formally recognizing the day. \nIllinois\, Lincoln's home state\, led efforts to honor him with a state holiday. It remains a recognized holiday there to this day. Some states adopted Lincoln's Birthday as a holiday\, while others chose to combine it with Washington's Birthday into what is now known as Presidents' Day. \nAlthough Lincoln's Birthday is not a federal holiday\, it played a significant role in the establishment of Presidents' Day\, which honors both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in many states. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn Lincoln's Birthday\, people honor the legacy of Abraham Lincoln with various activities and traditions that celebrate his life\, achievements\, and enduring influence on the United States. \nSchools and Libraries host lectures\, discussions\, and storytelling sessions about Lincoln's presidency\, the Civil War\, and the abolition of slavery. \nPeople visit landmarks associated with Abraham Lincoln including the Lincoln Memorial in Washington\, D.C.\, his birthplace in Hodgenville\, Kentucky\, and his home in Springfield\, Illinois. \nSome communities host parades with floats\, music\, and reenactors dressed as Lincoln or Civil War soldiers. Movies and documentaries about Lincoln's life\, such as Lincoln (2012)\, are often shown on or around this day. \nIn some states\, Lincoln's Birthday is combined with Presidents' Day (the third Monday in February)\, where broader celebrations include all U.S. presidents. \nWho is Abraham Lincoln?\nAbraham Lincoln\, the 16th President of the United States\, is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American history. Known for his leadership during the Civil War and his efforts to abolish slavery\, Lincoln's legacy as a champion of democracy and equality endures. \nLincoln was born on February 12\, 1809\, in a log cabin in Hodgenville\, Kentucky to Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. He grew up in poverty on the frontier in Kentucky and later Indiana. He had less than a year of formal schooling but avidly read and studied on his own. \nHe worked as a farmer\, rail-splitter\, store clerk\, and surveyor. He studied law independently and became a lawyer in 1836. After he moved to Springfield\, Illinois\, where he established a successful law practice. \nHe was elected as a member of the Whig Party\, supporting internal improvements and economic modernization in 1834. He served one term in Congress from 1847 to 1849\, opposing the Mexican-American War and slavery's expansion. \nHe was elected as the first Republican President in 1860 and then reelected in 1864 during the height of the Civil War. \nHe was assassinated on April 14\, 1865\, at Ford's Theatre\, Washington\, D.C.\, just days after the Civil War ended\, and died the following morning. He was the first U.S. president to be assassinated.
