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.
January 23rd through history
Seven miles down, and twenty minutes on the bottom
On January 23rd 1960 the bathyscaphe Trieste, carrying Jacques Piccard and Lieutenant Don Walsh of the US Navy, reached the floor of the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench — nearly seven miles below the surface, the deepest point in any ocean. The descent took just under five hours; a window cracked on the way down; they stayed twenty minutes and saw, they reported, a flatfish. No human returned to that depth for fifty-two years.
Medicine supplied a quieter first. On January 23rd 1849 Elizabeth Blackwell was awarded a medical degree by Geneva Medical College in New York — the first woman to earn one in the United States. The faculty had put her application to the student body as a joke, and the students voted her in.
British readers may note January 23rd 1571, when Elizabeth I opened the Royal Exchange in the City of London, founded by Sir Thomas Gresham and the ancestor of every trading floor since.
Edouard Manet failed the naval entrance examination twice before his family accepted that he would paint instead. His Dejeuner sur l’herbe was refused by the Salon of 1863 and hung at the Salon des Refuses, where the crowds came largely to laugh. He was born in Paris on January 23rd 1832.
Born on January 23rd: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Edouard Manet and Django Reinhardt — 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
Garnet for January.
Birth flower
Carnation (primary), also Snowdrop — most commonly cited sources agree on carnation as the main January 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 — garnet for the stone, Aquarius for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
