Welcome to the LeapZeum
An Internet museum of all things Leap Year
Things that relate to that quadrennial
date, February 29 |
|
|
|
Hello,
I will be your guide, my
name is Raenell.
This
display of Leap Year
items was
inspired by the
collectors of
Leap Year
items before me.
|
While researching Leap Year I
found that
there was a time in our recent
history when
Leap Year was recognized, and
celebrated,
by societies around the world. |
We hope you'll enjoy looking around
and
learning about how Leap Year was
once
celebrated through the use of
these items. |
|
|
|
 |
|
The
items on this website will
usually
have
the words Leap Year
or Leap Day
on it, or
the date
February 29 is clearly
marked.
|
|
|
 |
One day, every
February 29 will
have the words
Leap Year Day
printed on all
calendars. |
|
The next Leap Year is
2012. I am not
going
to give up on calendar printers. |
I'm counting on the words LEAP DAY
written on February 29, 2012. |
It's not a holiday. And
it doesn't need
to be.
It is Leap Day. |
February 29 exists for
one
reason only
and
that day has a name. |
|
|
It is only right to spell the 'name' of
that day
with a capital L, Y and D. If it were not
for this
extra day every four years, we would
eventually
celebrate our holidays in a
different season.
February 29 has a lot of
responsibility maintaining balance in the calendar. Isn't it
wonderful
that people
have discovered
that. It sure makes our lives easier!
Why
don't we celebrate the spin of
the earth by putting the words Leap Year Day on
every
February 29? Because people forgot. So I'm here here with a
friendly reminder.
If
you have an image you'd like to donate to the LeapZeum,
please email it to Raenell.
