Holidays 2021-05-08 (b)

Observances today cover topics like staying up all night, remembering those who lost their lives in WWII, the Allied victory in Europe in WWII, commemorating the life of an advocate of esotericism/mysticism, fighting ovarian cancer, the Red Cross/Red Crescent organizations, fair trade, belly dancing, windmills/watermills, and donkeys:

On this date in 1945 Germany officially surrendered to the Allies, ending the European theater of WWII.

Henry Dunant, the Swiss humanitarian who co-founded the Red Cross, was born on this date in 1828.

It sounds like watermills have joined windmills in being celebrated today.

Donkeys get celebrated today.
