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.
March 21st through history
Bach has two birthdays, and both are kept
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21st 1685 by the Julian calendar that Lutheran Germany still used, which is March 31st by the calendar everybody uses now. Both dates are still marked, which leaves him with two birthdays ten days apart. He was largely forgotten as a composer for the best part of eighty years after his death, remembered instead as an organist, until Mendelssohn revived the St Matthew Passion in Berlin in 1829 and the reputation began again.
On March 21st 1960 police opened fire on a crowd protesting against the pass laws at Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, and sixty-nine people were killed. The United Nations later made March 21st the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The immediate consequence in Britain was South Africa’s departure from the Commonwealth the following year.
Henry Morton Stanley marched out of Bagamoyo, opposite Zanzibar, on March 21st 1871 with a large and expensive expedition, under instructions from a newspaper to find David Livingstone. It took him seven months, and he was never afterwards certain of the date he arrived.
The date supplies both a Bond and a Beethoven: Timothy Dalton, who played 007 on screen, born at Colwyn Bay in 1946, and Gary Oldman, the actor later known for roles ranging from Sirius Black to Winston Churchill, born in New Cross on March 21st 1958. The Formula One driver Ayrton Senna was born in 1960 and the actor Matthew Broderick, remembered for Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, in 1962.
Born on March 21st: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Gary Oldman and Timothy Dalton — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Aries — a Fire sign ruled by Mars, symbolised by the Ram. If you were born right on the cusp, sources vary by a day either way on exactly where one sign ends and the next begins.
Birthstone
traditionally Bloodstone, or Aquamarine in the modern list for March.
Birth flower
Daffodil (primary), also Jonquil — most commonly cited sources agree on daffodil as the main March 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.
