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 5th through history
An iron curtain has descended across the continent
On March 5th 1946 Winston Churchill, out of office and leader of the opposition, spoke at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, with President Truman sitting behind him. From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, he said, an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. He had used the phrase privately in a telegram to Truman the previous May; this is where it stuck. Much of the American press thought the speech alarmist.
The prototype Spitfire, K5054, first flew from Eastleigh near Southampton on March 5th 1936, a flight of about eight minutes. On landing the test pilot Mutt Summers told the ground crew not to touch anything — meaning that the aeroplane was already close to right, which is not a thing test pilots often say.
Stalin died on March 5th 1953 at his dacha outside Moscow, having lain untended for many hours because nobody dared enter his room uninvited. The news was read out to the Soviet public the following morning.
Gerardus Mercator, born on March 5th 1512, gave the world the map projection that still shapes how most people picture it and that flatters the far north outrageously. The actor Rex Harrison, later known for My Fair Lady, arrived in 1908, the musical theatre star Elaine Paige in 1948, and the singer Andy Gibb, in Manchester, in 1958.
Born on March 5th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Rex Harrison and Elaine Paige — 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
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.
