发帖数: 10518 | 1 Washington's Birthday is a United States federal holiday celebrated on the
third Monday of February in honor of George Washington, the first President
of the United States, who was born on February 22, 1732.[1] It can occur
between February 15 through February 21 inclusive.[2]
Colloquially, the day is also now widely known as Presidents' Day and is
often an occasion to honor the incumbent president and all persons who have
served as president, not just George Washington.[3][4]
The day is a state holiday in most states, with official names including
Washington's Birthday, Presidents' Day, President's Day, and Washington's
and Lincoln's Birthday.[3] Depending upon the specific law, the state
holiday might officially celebrate Washington alone, Washington and Abraham
Lincoln (whose birthday is February 12), or some other combination of U.S.
presidents (such as Washington and the third president Thomas Jefferson, who
was born in April).[3] |
