 | | Observing Queen's Birthday in Australia and New Zealand on the actual date of the Queen's birth would be impractical as it would be too close to ANZAC Day four days later and the Easter long weekend. | | | The Queen's Birthday or Queen's Official Birthday is celebrated as a public holiday in several Commonwealth countries (usually Commonwealth realms). | | | Fiji also still celebrates the Queen's Official Birthday, along with the Prince of Wales's Birthday, even though the Queen ceased to be head of state in 1987. |

| | The Incredible Origins of the Maya Indians! |
| | The 8th of September for the Maya was the birthday of the White God's mother -- in Catholic countries it is the day of the Blessed Virgin's birth; and the White God's birthday was celebrated on the 25th of December. | | | Maya kings were evidently fanatical about their position in the scheme of things. | | | The Catholic priests accompanying the conquistadors discovered that the Maya religion had many affinities with the stories and customs of the Bible. |

| | The house was opened to the public on the queen's birthday, the 24th of May, but without exercises, except that in the Canadian building there was brief informal speech-making, with singing of the national anthem, followed at night by a banquet given at a Chicago hotel under the auspices of the commissioners. | | | After "God Save the Queen," rendered by the Columbia chorus, he proposed the name of the president of the United States, the cheers being given with a will, and the mayor of Chicago responding on behalf of his countrymen. | | | There are also sets of silver church plate, a toilet service of silver gilt formerly belonging to Queen Sophia Magdalena, the reproduction of a cup presented in 1631 to Gustavus Adolphus by the citizens of Nuremberg, and collections of antique drinking cups and jewelry associated with the history of the country. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Handel - Coronation Anthems: Music |
| | That said, the major recommendation of this CD comes from a ravishing performance of the little known birthday ode that Handel wrote for Queen Anne in 1713. | | | Probably unperformed in Handel's lifetime (Queen Anne was ill apparently at the occasion when this was to be performed), there is more than a echo of Purcell whom Handel certainly admired and whose music he knew well. | | | The first time it was used was for the coronation of George II of England in the 1700, but actually Zadok the Priest is so moving that the Queen of Denmark chose to use for the Crown Princess' walk down the isle at the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary in 2004. |
