Say Ciao to April with a free printable!

Ciao April

Spring has sprung and the beautiful month of April is here!  Let’s say Ciao as a greeting for this lovely springtime month. Known for it’s changeable, rainy weather, April is the month when Mother Nature really starts to feel her springtime vibe.

Saying Ciao

The origins of Ciao are Venetian, and translated to literally, I am your slave, evolving later to, I’m at your service. And while originally Italian, the word Ciao has been adopted by over 28 languages. Most everyone will understand when you greet them with a ‘Ciao’. And yes, Ciao means both hello and goodbye, so this fun freebie makes a good way to say hello, then goodbye, to this too-quick, beautiful springtime month.

April has many holidays

One of the main reasons I chose to greet April with ‘Ciao’ is because on April 25th Italy celebrates ‘Festa Della Repubblica’, Liberation Day. This day commemorates the Italian resistance and those who partnered with the Anglo-American forces to liberate their country from the fascist dictatorship of Mussolini and the German Nazi occupation. A worthy celebration to be sure.

Lots of other holidays are also celebrated in April, including April Fool’s Day on April 1st, which also happens to be National Sourdough Bread Day. And on April 2nd we celebrate International Children’s Book Day. Additionally, this year Passover is celebrated April 12th, Good Friday on April 18th, and Easter Sunday on April 20th. Earth Day is celebrated April 22nd, followed by National Arbor Day on April 24th. And it would be wrong of me to not mention National Burrito day, a personal favorite of my Mr.’s, which is celebrated April 3rd.
