April 15 is the World Day of Culture
Many countries around the world annually observe World Culture Day on April 15. This holiday was established to commemorate the adoption of the Roerich Pact in 1935.
The Roerich Pact is an inter-American treaty on the protection of artistic and scientific institutions and historic monuments. Its main idea is the legal recognition of that the defense of cultural objects is more important than military defense, - Any Day Guide posts.
The idea of creation of World Day of Culture belongs to World League of Culture. The organization initiated establishment of this holiday in 1998. It made several more propositions to establish International Day of Culture in 2008-2009, that would be celebrated on the anniversary of signing of the Roerich Pact. Nowadays this holiday is observed in different countries around the world.
