How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
April 26th through history
Reactor four, twenty-three minutes past one
Reactor four at the Chernobyl station exploded at 1.23 in the morning of April 26th 1986, during a test to see whether a coasting turbine could power the cooling pumps after a power cut. The reactor had been driven into an unstable condition to run it, and two explosions opened the core to the air. Pripyat was evacuated the following afternoon, 49,000 people told to bring papers and food for three days. The first independent confirmation came on the 28th, when workers arriving at the Forsmark plant in Sweden set off the radiation monitors.
On April 26th 1564 a clerk at Holy Trinity in Stratford-upon-Avon entered a baptism in Latin: Gulielmus, son of John Shakspere. It is the earliest trace of the man, and the only reason his birth can be dated.
Guernica was bombed on April 26th 1937, a Monday and market day, by the German Condor Legion flying for Franco. The raid lasted some three hours. George Steer of The Times established from the bomb casings that the aircraft were German, and his despatch was read in Paris by Picasso.
The Duke of York married Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in Westminster Abbey on April 26th 1923. On her way in she laid her bouquet on the grave of the Unknown Warrior, in memory of a brother killed at Loos. Royal brides since have sent theirs to the same place.
Born on April 26th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Eugene Delacroix and Carol Burnett — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Taurus — an Earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull.
Birthstone
Diamond for April.
Birth flower
Daisy (primary), also Sweet Pea — most commonly cited sources agree on daisy as the main April flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — diamond for the stone, Taurus for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
