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 25th through history
Charles II comes ashore at Dover
On May 25th 1660 Charles II landed at Dover, eleven years after his father’s execution and not quite nine after his own flight from Worcester. General Monck met him on the beach. He knelt, kissed the ground, and was presented by the town with a Bible, which he declared he loved above all things in the world — an answer that cost him nothing and served very well. The monarchy was restored without a shot being fired.
Star Wars opened in the United States on May 25th 1977 at a few dozen cinemas, having been written off by most of the studio that made it. Britain waited until December 27th, by which time the American queues had been on the television news for months. Alec Guinness, who had taken a percentage of the takings instead of a larger fee, spent the rest of his life politely declining to discuss the film.
On May 25th 1895 Oscar Wilde was convicted at the Old Bailey under a law long since repealed and sentenced to two years’ hard labour. He wrote De Profundis in Reading Gaol, and never lived in England again.
President Kennedy told Congress on May 25th 1961 that America should commit itself to landing a man on the Moon before the decade was out. Ian McKellen, the celebrated stage and screen actor, was born on May 25th 1939 in Burnley, and Paul Weller, later the frontman of The Jam, in Woking in 1958.
Born on May 25th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Ian McKellen and Paul Weller — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Gemini — an Air sign ruled by Mercury, symbolised by the Twins.
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.
