International day of Euskara
On December 3rd, Basques around the world will celebrate the international day of Euskara, or Euskararen Eguna. On this day, events of all kinds are organized to commemorate the day by speaking Basque, enjoying food and each other’s company. This date was chosen because it is the feast of St. Francis Xabier, a missionary who traveled to Asia, and whose dying words were spoken in Basque on December 3, 1552.
