Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year. King was the chief spokesperson for nonviolent activism in the civil rights movement, which protested racial discrimination in federal and state law. The campaign for a federal holiday in King's honor began soon after his assassination in 1968. Ronald Reagan signed the holiday into law in 1983, and it was first observed on January 20, 1986.

Many Christian Orthodox churches observe Christmas on January 7. Prior to Christmas Eve (or the Nativity), it is common for observers to fast. Although many cultures have different traditions, usually gift giving is not a central component of celebrations. Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of Russia, has become a representative of the holiday. Predominantly, Orthodox countries are located in Eastern Europe, as well as some smaller regions of the Middle East and Northern Africa. The image features a Russian Orthodox cathedral where many celebrate Christmas. Learn more here: http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/orthodox-christmas-day
