๐ŸŒ‹ JRR TOLKIEN Day ORIGIN & HISTORY

JRR TOLKIEN Day is celebrated on the 3rd Day in January. Itโ€™s a day dedicated to honoring the life and works of J.R.R. Tolkien, the renowned author of โ€œThe Hobbitโ€ and โ€œThe Lord of the Ringsโ€ trilogy. Itโ€™s a perfect occasion for fans to delve into Middle-earth. Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892.

Tracing the Roots of JRR TOLKIEN Day

The celebrationโ€™s roots go back to 2002, with Sean Kirst, a columnist for the Syracuse Post-Standard. He reached out to the Tolkien Society, expressing his passion for Tolkienโ€™s works and how they filled a void in his life. He suggested a dedicated day to celebrate the authorโ€™s impact. The Tolkien Society embraced the idea, acknowledging the growing Tolkien fandom and seeking ways to promote his works, especially among younger generations.

Initially, March 25th was chosen, symbolizing the downfall of Sauron in The Lord of the Rings, considered a significant and triumphant moment in Tolkienโ€™s mythology. However, in 2013, the date officially shifted to Tolkienโ€™s birthday, January 3rd, allowing fans to celebrate the man himself rather than focusing solely on a fictional event.

There are other related days including TOLKIEN READING Day which focuses on reading his works, encouraging fans to dive into Tolkienโ€™s books, both famous and lesser-known. The Tolkien Society organizes TOLKIEN READING Day events, where fans and scholars gather to read passages aloud and discuss their love for his work which is celebrated on March 25th instead.

And if youโ€™re a fan of Tolkienโ€™s epic High Fantasy subgenre, you might wanna check out National SCIENCE FICTION Day which is celebrated the day before on January 2nd each year.
