must be TUESDAY

Today is St. Vitus’ Day in Serbia. It marks a 14th-century battle that has become an important part of Serb ethnic and national identity. Vidovdan is celebrated as a slava (feast day) in Serbia, though it is a working day. The Serbian Orthodox Church designates it as a memorial day to Saint Prince Lazar and the Serbian holy martyrs who fell during the Battle of Kosovo against the Ottoman Empire in 1389.

Today is Ullortuneq in Greenland, a public holiday. This public holiday is known as ‘Ullortuneq’, which meanings ‘the longest day’ as 21st June is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
