National Themes For September 24: National Cherries Jubilee Day, National Punctuation Day, Schwenkfelder Thanksgiving, National Voter Registration Day, and Innergize Day.

🍒National Cherries Jubilee Day! Auguste Escoffier receives the credit for the Cherries Jubilee recipe. Knowing the queen’s fondness for cherries, Escoffier prepared the dish for one of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee celebrations. The original recipe didn’t include ice cream. Instead, the chef poached the cherries in a simple syrup and poured warm brandy over them. Then just before serving, dramatically set the alcohol aflame. Later recipes added the liqueur Kirschwasser and ice cream.

🎗Schwenkfelder Thanksgiving! The Schwenkfelders are the descendants of a small Protestant sect that sprang up in Germany around the time of the Reformation. They were followers of Caspar Schwenkfeld, a theologian. He and his followers separated from Protestant circles and formed the brotherhoods that still survive as the Schwenkfelder Church. Most Schwenkfelders now live in Pennsylvania Dutch country. In 1733, a handful of Schwenkfelder’s followers arrived in Philadelphia. A second group arrived from Germany on September 22, 1734. They swore their allegiance to the British king; then they spent September 24 expressing their thankfulness to God for having delivered them from persecution.

🇺🇸National Voter Registration Day! There are hundreds of local, state and national organizations that are the driving forces behind this Day, and partner organizations help to coordinate thousands of public events to bring awareness to ballot initiatives, local elections, and voter registration.
