MARCH 15

Is known as the "Ides Of March"
A little background to this...

Ancient markers used to reference dates in relation to lunar phases. Ides simply referred to the first new moon of a given month, which usually fell between the 13th and 15th. Yet it was also the mark of a New year during these times until, which celebration and rejoicing occur ^^

Which is the meaning many wont know but nor did I knew either so this is new to me
Continuing....
~
There has been many examples used in the media arts such as movies and books where the day itself was seen as bad luck to occur
Since the death of Caesar , many question if that curse the day, or was it just Shakespeare’s mastery of language that forever darkened an otherwise normal box on the calendar?
Through history, It is said that many horrible things are said to occur out of bad omen, but is it a case of life imitating art? Or art imitating life?"

Thats the summary
so today wherever you are









BEWARE OF THE IDES OF MARCH ​

It is also said that in the ancient Roman calendar, each month had an Ides. For the months of March, May, July and October, the Ides fell on the 15th day. In every other month, the Ides fell on the 13th day.

I did horribly reading it because I never fully read a Shakespeare play until 10th grade (I transferred English classes during my freshman year and the class I went to already read Romeo and Juliet). Each English class, you had to read Shakespeare play.

English I: Romeo and Juliet
English II: The Tragedy of Julius Caesar
English III: Macbeth
English IV: Hamlet

It's also Hungary's National Holiday
Where we remember the Revolution of 1848...
Well we lost, but great men and women fought for freedom!
