What day is it? - holidays, commemorative, observance, designated, today-in-history, liturgical

A teacher asked about finding thematic dates, days, holidays, commemorative dates, observances, today is.. today-in-history...etc.

I'd some date/time related web pages listed further below these resources which list 'special/designated days.'
