Holidays celebrated in Guam
Since Guam is a part of the U.S., it celebrates almost all of the celebrations the U.S. does. They celebrated New Year's, Christmas, and Thanksgiving like the U.S., but they celebrated their own special holidays like Guam Discovery Day, March 5, Liberation Day, July 21, All Soul's day, where they pray for the souls of the dead, Nov. 2, and Lady of Camarin Day, a patron saint who watches over Guam and the Marianas Isles, December 8.
