Holiday List pages are drafted with AI from a calendar of observances that we maintain, checked by our editorial team, and corrected whenever we find mistakes.
- We keep the calendar: public holidays, UN days and cultural calendars, with dates checked before they are added.
- We draft articles with the help of AI: it is given only the name and date, and told not to invent facts.
- We add an AI image: an illustration of the spirit of the day, watermarked with our name.
- A person reviews each page, and readers help us fix anything we miss.
Where the list of days comes from
We build the calendar from widely published sources: official public holidays, the United Nations’ list of international days, religious and cultural calendars, and the “national day” observances that organizations and communities celebrate. We check dates against published calendars before adding them. Dates that move from year to year, such as Easter, Thanksgiving, Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah, are worked out or updated every year.
How each article is written
Each article is drafted by us with the help of an AI writing tool. It is given only the name and date of the observance, never any information about visitors. We instruct it not to invent facts: no made-up statistics, quotes, founders or dates, and no presenting a marketing-created day as an official holiday. When a day’s origin is unclear, the article should say so.
AI tools can still get details wrong, so treat an article as a friendly starting point rather than a final authority.
Images
Images are generated with AI to capture the spirit of an observance. They are not photographs of real events or real people, and they carry our site name as a watermark.
Human review
Events suggested by readers are reviewed by a person before anything is published.
New pages are checked by a person, with extra attention to any claims about founders, dates and history. Pages we have reviewed show a “Reviewed by” line with the date. Older pages are being reviewed too, starting with the most visited. We re-check any page when a reader reports a problem.
Official holidays and religious dates
Most days on this site are observances, not legal holidays. We aim to make clear which days are official public holidays and which are not. Religious dates can differ between traditions and regions, and some depend on the sighting of the moon, so check with your own community for the date you observe.
