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.
May 13th through history
Blood, toil, tears and sweat
On May 13th 1940, three days into the job, Churchill made his first speech to the Commons as Prime Minister. It was short: ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.’ The House was cool. Many Conservatives still preferred Chamberlain, who got the louder cheer when he entered the chamber, and the speech only became famous later, when the country had reason to remember it.
The army of Mary, Queen of Scots was beaten at Langside near Glasgow on May 13th 1568, in about three quarters of an hour. She never commanded an army again, and never saw Scotland after that week.
The First Fleet sailed from Portsmouth for Botany Bay on May 13th 1787: eleven ships, some fourteen hundred people, eight months at sea and no reliable charts of the destination. Pope John Paul II was shot in St Peter’s Square on May 13th 1981 and survived; he visited the gunman in prison two and a half years later.
The Lambeth-born son of a bandsman who became a military bandmaster, Arthur Sullivan grew up among the instruments of his father’s band and could play most of them, and would have preferred to be remembered for his oratorios than for the comic operas he wrote with Gilbert. He was born on May 13th 1842, Daphne du Maurier — later the novelist behind Rebecca — in 1907, and Stevie Wonder, the singer-songwriter, in 1950.
Born on May 13th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Stevie Wonder and Daphne du Maurier — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Taurus — an Earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull.
Birthstone
Emerald for May.
Birth flower
Lily of the Valley (primary), also Hawthorn — most commonly cited sources agree on lily of the valley as the main May 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.
