National Truffle Day is observed
annually on May 2nd.
On this day, the deliciously sweet
chocolate truffle gets the spotlight.
|
|
This chocolate confectionery is traditionally made with a chocolate ganache center coated in chocolate, icing, cocoa powder, chopped nuts or coconut.
The truffle may be filled with other fillings such as cream, melted chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, nougat, fudge, toffee, mint, marshmallow or liqueur.
N. Petruccelli of Chambery, France is believed to be the inventor of the
chocolate truffle in December 1895.
Truffles became much more popular in 1902 when Prestat Chocolate Shop opened in London.
Prestat still sells “Napoleon III” truffles made to the original recipe.

|
NATIONAL LIFE
INSURANCE DAY
|
National Life Insurance Day is observed annually on May 2nd.
This day marks the anniversary of the
first day life insurance became available
in the United States.
The sale of life insurance in the U.S.
began in the late 1760s.
The Presbyterian Synods in Philadelphia and New York City created the
Corporation for Relief of Poor and Distressed Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers in 1759.
|
|
On May 2, 1759, the charter was recorded for the Corporation for Relief of Poor and Distressed Widows and Children of Presbyterian Ministers.
Episcopalian priests created a
comparable relief fund in 1769.
Between 1787 and 1837 more than two dozen life insurance companies were started, but fewer than half a dozen survived.
Life insurance can do some pretty
amazing things for people.
It can buy loved ones time to grieve.
It can pay off debts and loans, providing surviving family members with the chance to move on with a clean slate.
It can keep families in their homes and
pre-fund a child’s college education.
It can keep a family business in the family. It can provide a stream of income for a family to live on for a period of time.

The National Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Thursday in May.
|
|
This day of observance, designated by the United States Congress, asks people
“to turn to God in prayer and meditation.” The modern law formalizing the annual National Day of Prayer observance
was enacted in 1952 and each year
since, the President of the United States has signed a proclamation, encouraging
all Americans to pray on this day.
|
|
National Day of Reason is observed
each year on the first Thursday in
the month of May.
|
|
National Day of Reason originated in 2003 in response to the perceived unconstitutional National Day of Prayer. “According to the organizers of the National Day of Reason, the National Day of Prayer, “violates the First Amendment of The United States Constitution because it asks federal,
state and local government entities to set aside tax dollar supported time and space to engage in religious ceremonies.”
|
|
The Registrar of National Day Calendar has designated the first Thursday of May
of each year as World Password Day.
|
|
World Password Day is a celebration to promote better password habits. Passwords are critical gatekeepers to
our digital identities, allowing us to
access online shopping, dating,
banking, social media, private work
and life communications.
Get tips to fortify your password habits on the official World Password Day website,
