The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America—Independence Day—is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress. 1, record 6, English, - United%20States%20Declaration%20of%20Independence

Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis. [...] La Déclaration d’indépendance est un texte politique par lequel les Treize Colonies britanniques d’Amérique du Nord ont fait sécession du Royaume-Uni, le 4 juillet 1776. Ce texte est marqué par l'influence de la philosophie des Lumières et tire également les conséquences de la Glorieuse Révolution de 1688 : d’après les abus constatés, les délégués des colons estiment qu'ils ont le droit et le devoir de se révolter contre la monarchie britannique(en fait, le parlement britannique qui a voté les lourds impôts et taxes frappant les colonies). Depuis, le 4 juillet est devenu la fête nationale des États-Unis : l'Independence Day(jour de l'Indépendance en anglais). 1, record 6, French, - D%C3%A9claration%20d%26rsquo%3Bind%C3%A9pendance%20des%20%C3%89tats%2DUnis

This feast is celebrated in the Latin Church on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. The instrument in the hand of Divine Providence was St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon, in Belgium. She was born in 1193 at Retines near Liège. Orphaned at an early age, she was educated by the Augustinian nuns of Mont Cornillon. Here she in time made her religious profession and later became superioress. Intrigues of various kinds several times drove her from her convent. She died 5 April, 1258, at the House of the Cistercian nuns at Fosses, and was buried at Villiers. Juliana, from her early youth, had a great veneration for the Blessed Sacrement, and always longed for a special feast in its honour. This desire is said to have been increased by a vision of the Church under the appearance of the full moon having one dark spot, which signified the absence of such a solemnity. She made known her ideas to Robert de Thorete, then Bishop of Liège, to the learned Dominican Hugh, later cardinal legate in the Netherlands, and to Jacques Pantaléon, at that time Archedeacon of Liège, afterwards Bishop of Verdun, Patriarch of Jerusalem and finally Pope Urban IV. 1, record 9, English, - Corpus%20Christi

La Fête-Dieu ou Corpus Christi est une fête religieuse catholique célébrée le jeudi qui suit la Trinité(le huitième dimanche après Pâques), c'est-à-dire soixante jours après Pâques. Actuellement, le nom officiel de la fête est Solennité du corps et du sang du Christ. Cette fête commémore l'institution du sacrement de l'Eucharistie. Aux États-Unis, on célèbre cette fête trois jours plus tard, soit le dimanche suivant la Trinité. Après cette fête, le temps ordinaire reprend. La Fête-Dieu est un jour férié dans certains pays catholiques. La Fête-Dieu fut introduite d’abord dès 1246 dans le diocèse de Liège sous l'impulsion de Julienne de Cornillon, puis pour toute l'Église catholique en 1264 par le pape Urbain IV. 1, record 9, French, - F%C3%AAte%2DDieu

La fête de la Fédération eut lieu le 14 juillet 1790, pendant la Révolution française, un an jour pour jour après la prise de la Bastille. C'est en 1880 que le 14 juillet devint officiellement jour de la fête nationale française, sur proposition du député Benjamin Raspail. Cette date fut retenue non seulement en commémoration du 14 juillet 1789(prise de la Bastille) mais aussi en mémoire de la fête de la fédération. La première date ayant été une journée jugée sanglante, c'est la seconde qui emporta les suffrages sans pour autant diminuer l'importance de la première. 1, record 11, French, - f%C3%AAte%20de%20la%20F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration

On November 11, Saint Martin's day, children in Flanders, the northern parts of the Netherlands, the Catholic areas of Germany and in Austria participate in paper lantern processions. Often, a man dressed as Saint Martin rides on a horse in front of the procession. The children sing songs about Saint Martin and about their lantern. The food traditionally eaten on the day is goose. According to legend, Martin was reluctant to become bishop, which is why he hid in a stable filled with geese. The noise made by the geese betrayed his location to the people who were looking for him. Also in the east part of the Belgian province East-Flanders, children receive presents from Saint Martin on November 11, instead of from Saint Nicholas on December 6, or Santa Claus on December 25. 1, record 12, English, - Saint%20Martin%27s%20day

On fête en Flandre, la Saint-Martin le soir du 10 novembre(ainsi que le soir du 11 novembre avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale). Les enfants chantent en Flandre française, le soir de la Saint-Martin, en défilant dans la rue, avec une lanterne en forme de tête, creusée dans une betterave à sucre. Après le défilé, on leur donne un folard et une orange, et le concours de la plus belle lanterne est organisé. Cette fête n’ est pas sans rappeler Halloween, que l'on fête outre-Atlantique, à la différence que Halloween est la fête de la nuit, de la mort, alors que la Saint-Martin est la fête de la vie, de la lumière. Bien que d’inspiration chrétienne, la Saint-Martin en Flandre est une fête païenne, et est fêtée dans les écoles laïques. 1, record 12, French, - f%C3%AAte%20de%20la%20Saint%2DMartin
