St. Stephen's Day in Hungary is observed on August 20, the day on which the allegedly sacred relics of Stephen I of Hungary were transferred to the city of Buda. This day is the ultimate public holiday in Hungary. Stephen I, or "Stephanus" as he was named in Latin by Pope Sylvester II, was originally a pagan chieftain's son answering to the name "Vajk". He gouged out the eyes and poured boiling lead into the ears of his arch rival(Vasoly) and was awarded a crown by the pope for forcing catholicism onto the Hungarian people. The converted king was canonized by Pope Gregory VII in AD 1083 and has since been referred to as St Stephen of Hungary. Under communism St. Stephen's Day was referred to by the Hungarians as "The celebration of the new bread-the end of the harvest". 1, record 3, English, - St%2E%20Stephen%26rsquo%3Bs%20Day

Orangemen's Day, also known as Orange Day is celebrated on July 12th. In Newfoundland and Labrador it is usually celebrated on the Monday nearest to July 12th. Orangemen's Day commemorates the 1690 Protestant victory over Roman Catholic forces in the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland. King William III of Orange, the Protestant King of England, defeated former King James II, a Catholic. The Orange Order was established a century after the Battle of the Boyne and steadily grew in the 19th century as a patriotic bulwark against what many Protestants saw as treasonous Catholicism. By the end of the 19th century Orangemen's parades were commonplace in many Newfoundland communities. In some Newfoundland and Labrador communities, Orangemen's Day celebrations are rescheduled in the winter season so that fishermen on the northeast coast do not lose money during the lucrative cod fishing season. 1, record 5, English, - Orangemen%26rsquo%3Bs%20Day

L'ordre d'Orange est une société fraternelle protestante fondée en 1795 en Irlande pour commémorer la victoire de Guillaume d'Orange lors de la bataille de la Boyne en 1690. Pendant l'insurrection irlandaise de 1798, l'ordre d'Orange devient le principal lien entre le gouvernement britannique et les protestants d'Irlande, alors que les Orangistes remplissent les rangs de la milice volontaire et occupent la majorité des postes de la fonction publique. Bien qu'il demeure puissant en Ulster, l'ordre d'Orange perd presque toute son influence en Irlande après l'adoption du Catholic Imancipation Act en 1829. Les loges orangistes adoptent un rituel et un fonctionnement de style maçonnique fondés sur l'entraide mutuelle et l'organisation d'événements à caractère social. Les Orangistes qui s'installent en Grande-Bretagne et dans les colonies britanniques sont aidés par les loges locales qui facilitent leur intégration au nouveau milieu. 2, record 5, French, - f%C3%AAte%20des%20Orangistes
