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 26th through history
Television demonstrated in a Soho attic
On January 26th 1926 John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of a working television system, to some forty members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times, in an attic room at 22 Frith Street, Soho. The image was thirty lines, flickering, and roughly the size of a postcard. The Times gave it a short paragraph. The building is now a restaurant, with a plaque.
It is Australia Day, marking January 26th 1788, when the First Fleet under Captain Arthur Phillip landed at Sydney Cove and raised the flag over a penal colony of some 1,300 people, more than half of them convicts. It is also, increasingly, marked in Australia as a day of mourning.
India keeps January 26th as Republic Day. Its constitution took effect in 1950 on a date chosen deliberately: the twentieth anniversary of the 1930 declaration of independence.
Paul Newman, the film actor best remembered for Cool Hand Luke, was born in Ohio on January 26th 1925, and Wayne Gretzky, the ice hockey player widely regarded as the finest the game has produced, was born in Ontario thirty-six years later. One of the two went on to fund a great many charities with the proceeds of salad dressing.
Born on January 26th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Paul Newman and Ellen DeGeneres — 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.
Gift ideas for a January 26th birthday
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.
