John Lennon - Biography - Life Story

Quote of John Lennon - The Beatles

 "When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

- John Lennon

Three Kings Day

In Europe, one of the most popular holidays is Three Kings Day, also called Epiphany, celebrated on January 6, for over 1,500 years. The holiday celebrates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem, bringing gifts to the Christ child. Three Kings Day is observed with special cakes and sweets, parades, and presents for children. In the Christmas story, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a new star rose in the East, announcing this miraculous event. Three Kings (Magi, or Three Wise Men) set out on a journey to Bethlehem, following the star across the desert. They arrived January 6, twelve days after Christmas, and gave gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child.

Santa´s Clothes

Santa Claus's clothes are famously a jolly red suit with white fur trim on the coat, pants, and hat, paired with black boots, a wide black belt with a gold buckle, and often white gloves, but variations exist globally, with some European traditions featuring robes like a bishop's. This iconic look became standardized through popular culture, evolving from earlier green or brown suits, with cartoonists like Thomas Nast solidifying the modern image. Key Components of the Classic Suit: Coat & Trousers: Bright red, often velvet, with thick white fur lining the edges and cuffs. Hat: A red cap with a white fur ball (pom-pom) at the tip. Belt: A broad, black leather belt with a prominent gold buckle. Boots: Black, shiny, and often tucked into the pants. Accessories: White gloves, round glasses, and a large sack for toys. Global Variations: United States/UK: The familiar red and white fur-trimmed suit. Continental Europe (e.g., Netherlands, Austria): Closer to Saint Nicholas, with long robes and a bishop's miter (hat). Historical: Early depictions included brown, blue, or green suits, with red becoming dominant for its festive warmth.
