Texas Independence Day, celebrated on March 2, marks the anniversary of Texas declaring independence from Mexico in 1836.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. Share a graphic with ashes and Genesis 3:19 Bible verse on social media. Note: Ash Wednesday changes each year.
March 6th-Remember the Alamo
“Remember the Alamo!” is a historic rallying cry that symbolizes bravery, sacrifice, and resistance. It originated from the Battle of the Alamo (1836) during the Texas Revolution, where a small group of Texan defenders, including figures like Davy Crockett and James Bowie, were killed by the Mexican army. Though a military defeat, the battle inspired Texan forces, who later defeated Mexico at the Battle of San Jacinto, securing Texas' independence. The phrase has since become a symbol of perseverance and patriotic remembrance in American history.
