Hello
everyone today here it is Anzac Day which many would say is the most
sacred day in the country.
Anzac
Day is the solemn day of remembrance of those Australian and New
Zealand Army Corps soldiers who have fought and died for their
country. It is marked annually on 25 April, the anniversary of the
Gallipoli campaign of the First World War.
Anzac
Day in 2020 will fall on a Saturday. ... "The Public Holidays
Act 2010 names Anzac Day to be observed with a public holiday on 25
April including whether it is a Saturday or a Sunday.
Is
there any difference between Anzac Day & Remembrance Day?
In
the modern context, remembrance day is all nations remembering all
soldiers who died in all wars, whereas Anzac day is Australia
remembering all Australian soldiers who died in all wars. Every
country has their own day.
Remembrance
Day in
Australia
is
dedicated to Australians
who
died as a result of war, particularly from World War I onwards. A
minute of silence is dedicated to the deceased, especially for
soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation.
