Every year on this date, the Aphelion of Earth takes place. When this occurs, the planet Earth reaches the point in its orbit to be a highly significant event.
In ancient Egypt, this day was held sacred to Matt, the goddess who presides over truth and wisdom.
Tywald Day, Isle of Man
Today they will be partying off the coast of Ireland … or is it off the coast of England … or of Scotland? In the Irish Sea between Britain and Ireland lies the Isle of Man, where men are Manx and proud of it (and so are the women). Man (or Mann) is famous for Manx cats and Grand Prix motor sports, and it is a small island with a big history.
The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, but a Crown Dependency. Queen Elizabeth II is acknowledged as Lord of Mann, and in 1979 she presided over the millennial celebrations of the Tynwald, the Manx parliament, which is commemorated each year on July 5.
The High Court of Tynwald, as the parliament is known, is of Norse (Viking) origin and at over 1,000 years old is thus the oldest parliament in the world to enjoy an unbroken existence ...
X-Day, Church of the SubGenius (1998) X-Day is the name for July 5, 1998, the scheduled 'end of the world' in the Church of the SubGenius. Since its inception in 1980, the Church (devoted to JR 'Bob' Dobbs) prophesied that an army of extraterrestrial alien invaders would land on the planet Earth and destroy the world --except for the members of the Church of the SubGenius, who would be rescued by the aliens and taken away into space ...
1888 Three young women were dismissed from the Bryant and May factory in East London, England, for exposing the appalling working conditions there. The other 672 women labourers went out in solidarity. The 'Matchgirls' Strike' itself was unsuccessful but the unity generated nationally was unprecedented and galvanised the labor movement worldwide. This action, in which Annie Besant (social activist and later head of the Theosophy movement) campaigned with William Booth and Catherine Booth of the Salvation Army, and HH Champion (later an important radical activist and editor in Australia) was the first strike by unorganised workers to gain national publicity
