खà¥à¤¶ विकà¥à¤Ÿà¥‹à¤°à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾ दिवस
Today is a holiday in Canada — विकà¥à¤Ÿà¥‹à¤°à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾ दिवस.
आजकल, as Canadians head to their vacation cottages, picnic on the beach, or fire up the backyard barbecues, the holiday is more about the start of summer than it is about the Queen’s birthday. But it was originally created to celebrate the May 24 birthday of Britain’s Queen Victoria.
कà¥à¤µà¥€à¤¨ विकà¥à¤Ÿà¥‹à¤°à¤¿à¤¯à¤¾, who governed from 1837 जब तक उसकी मौत में 1901, was the ruling monarch at the time of कनाडा के परिसंघ — when Canada became a nation in 1867. के बाद से 1952, Canada has celebrated Victoria’s birthday on the Monday before May 25, और 1957, Victoria Day became the official day to celebrate the sovereign’s birthday in Canada.
As a Commonwealth country, Canada still has a queen, currently कà¥à¤µà¥€à¤¨ à¤à¤²à¤¿à¤œà¤¼à¤¾à¤¬à¥‡à¤¥ II. Although Elizabeth’s actual birthday is April 21, it’s honored on Victoria Day.
