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 8th through history
Mary at Fotheringhay, and a Derby winner vanishes
On February 8th 1587 Mary, Queen of Scots was executed in the great hall of Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire, after nineteen years in English custody and a trial for conspiring against Elizabeth I. Elizabeth had signed the warrant and then insisted she had not meant it to be used, sending her secretary William Davison to the Tower for despatching it. Mary’s son succeeded to the English throne sixteen years later as James I.
On the night of February 8th 1983 masked men walked into Ballymany Stud in County Kildare, held the head groom’s family, and drove away with Shergar. He had won the 1981 Derby by ten lengths, the widest margin in the history of the race, and had been syndicated for around ten million pounds across forty shares. A ransom of two million was demanded and refused. The horse was never recovered.
Jules Verne, the novelist whose adventures anticipated submarines and space travel long before either existed, was born on February 8th 1828 in Nantes. His most English novel sends Phileas Fogg out of the Reform Club in Pall Mall on a wager of twenty thousand pounds and brings him back, by his own reckoning, a day late.
Two of James Dean’s three leading roles reached the cinema only after his death in 1955; the actor was born on February 8th 1931. The film composer John Williams, still scoring films six decades on, followed the following year.
Born on February 8th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Jules Verne and James Dean — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aquarius — an Air sign ruled by Saturn (traditional) / Uranus (modern), symbolised by the Water-Bearer.
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.

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