Modern choirs perform Messiah at Christmas, but Handel wrote it to be performed at Easter. The lyrics of the songs in Messiah explore the HEART of the Bible with passages that tell the story of God sending Jesus to earth to redeem His people.

National Doctor’s Day is observed on March 30 in the United States to honor physicians. The day’s origins date back to 1933, and it was officially established in 1991. Dr. Bill Krissoff’s story illustrates dedication to medicine, family, and country. This video provides further insight.
What is National Doctors’ Day?
In the United States, March 30 is observed as National Doctor’s Day, although it is not well-known or observed outside the healthcare community.
Most hospitals, large clinics, and medical societies recognize their physicians today and the staffs of small or solo doctor practices will do something special for their boss.
The first Doctors’ Day
The first Doctors’ Day observance was on March 30, 1933, in Winder, Ga. The idea came from Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the date was the anniversary of the first use of general anesthetic in surgery. (On March 30, 1842, in Jefferson, Ga., Dr. Crawford Long used ether to remove a tumor from a patient’s neck.)
The Barrow County (Georgia) Medical Society Auxiliary proclaimed the day “Doctors’ Day,” which was celebrated by mailing cards to physicians and their wives and by placing flowers on the graves of deceased doctors, including Dr. Long’s.

The U.S. House of Representatives adopted a resolution commemorating Doctors’ Day on March 30, 1958. In 1990, the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly approved legislation establishing a National Doctors’ Day and then-President George H.W. Bush signed the resolution. The first National Doctors’ Day was celebrated on March 30, 1991.
