Leap Day, on February 29, has been a day of traditions, folklore, and superstitions ever since Leap Years were first introduced by Julius Caesar over 2000 years ago. However, the specific tradition of celebrating Leap Day as a special occasion appears to have varied cultural origins.
For instance, in Scotland, a law was passed in 1288 permitting women to propose to men on Leap Day. On the other hand, the idea of creating a festival to celebrate Leap Day was proposed in 1988 in Anthony, on the Texas–New Mexico border.
So, while the concept of a Leap Day has been around for over two millennia, the specific traditions and celebrations associated with it have evolved over time and differ across cultures.
