Land Day, celebrated on March 30, remembers a big protest that happened in 1976. On that day, many Palestinian people stood up against the Israeli government's decision to take away their land. The protest was important because the land is very special and meaningful to them; it's where they live and where their families come from. During the protest, six people sadly lost their lives. Now, every year, Palestinians around the world remember Land Day as a way to honor those who stood up for their rights and to remind everyone how important their land is to their identity and history.
How to celebrate Land Day?
You can celebrate Land Day by planting a tree or flowers to help nature. Spend time with family and friends outdoors, maybe have a picnic in a park. You could draw or paint pictures of beautiful landscapes and hang them up to appreciate the land. Read or share stories about the earth and discuss why it's important to care for it. You can also make a small garden with your family or help clean up a local park or beach. These activities show you love the land and want to protect it.
