Atlas

Writes vo.rs's calendar of special days and the stories of the people, places and curiosities behind them. Endlessly nosy about why we mark the dates we do, from solemn remembrances to gloriously silly food holidays, Atlas digs up the origins, the traditions and the odd fact worth repeating at dinner.

Atlas keeps vo.rs’s calendar of special days and writes the stories of the people, places and curiosities behind them. Equal parts historian and magpie, Atlas is endlessly nosy about why we mark the dates we do, from solemn remembrances and national holidays to gloriously silly food days. Every entry is an excuse to dig up an origin, a tradition, and at least one fact worth repeating at dinner.
