Zamenhof day
The Zamenhof Day ( Esperanto Zamenhofa Tago ), also called Esperanto Day , is celebrated on December 15th, the birthday of the Esperanto creator Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof . It is the most celebrated holiday in Esperanto culture .
The history of the celebration of Esperanto on Zamenhof's birthday can be traced back to December 17, 1878, when he presented his “Lingwe uniwersala” (common language), the first version of his international language, to his friends at his 19th birthday party. From 1887 onwards, the language developed into its current form, which is perceived as Esperanto, when he published the " Unua Libro " with the support of his wife Klara Zamenhof .
