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.
August 13th through history
Television, stainless steel and Hitchcock
John Logie Baird, the engineer who pioneered television, was born on August 13th 1888 at Helensburgh on the Clyde, and in 1926 demonstrated moving television pictures to members of the Royal Institution in a Soho attic, using an apparatus assembled from a hatbox, a tea chest and darning needles. The BBC used his mechanical system for its first broadcasts and then dropped it in 1937 for the electronic Marconi-EMI system, which was better in every respect except romance.
Alfred Hitchcock, the film director who became known as the Master of Suspense, was born on August 13th 1899 above his father’s greengrocer’s shop in Leytonstone. He liked to say that his father once sent him to the local police station with a note, on the strength of which the sergeant locked him in a cell for a few minutes. The story may be his invention; the fear of policemen in his films is not.
On August 13th 1913 Harry Brearley, working at a Sheffield laboratory on the problem of gun barrels wearing out, cast a steel containing about 12.8 per cent chromium. He noticed weeks later that the samples he had discarded had not rusted. He called it rustless steel; a local cutler renamed it stainless.
On August 13th 1961 East German troops closed the border in Berlin overnight with barbed wire and began building in concrete a few days later. The wall stood for twenty-eight years.
Born on August 13th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Alfred Hitchcock and John Logie Baird — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Leo — a Fire sign ruled by the Sun, symbolised by the Lion.
Birthstone
traditionally Sardonyx, or Peridot or Spinel in the modern list for August.
Birth flower
Gladiolus (primary), also Poppy — most commonly cited sources agree on gladiolus as the main August 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 — sardonyx for the stone, Leo for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
