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.
February 20th through history
Four hours and fifty-five minutes in orbit
John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20th 1962, going round three times in four hours and fifty-five minutes aboard Friendship 7. A sensor suggested his heat shield had come loose, so controllers had him keep the spent retrorocket pack strapped over it during re-entry, watching flaming pieces go past the window with no way of knowing which. The sensor was faulty. He flew again in 1998, aged 77.
Orkney and Shetland were annexed to the Crown of Scotland on February 20th 1472, having been pledged as security for the dowry of Margaret of Denmark on her marriage to James III. The dowry was never paid, and the islands have been Scottish for five and a half centuries.
At Westminster Abbey on February 20th 1547 a boy of nine was crowned Edward VI, and Cranmer cut the service from twelve hours to seven on the grounds of the tedium and weariness of the king’s tender age.
Gordon Brown, the politician who served as prime minister, was born on February 20th 1951 in Glasgow, Sidney Poitier, the actor and the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, in 1927, and Rihanna, the singer and businesswoman, in 1988.
Born on February 20th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Gordon Brown and Rihanna — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish.
Birthstone
Amethyst for February.
Birth flower
Violet (primary), also Primrose — most commonly cited sources agree on violet as the main February 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.
