Thomas Paine Day is celebrated on June 8th every year. In Europe, the date of death is used as an official time to reflect upon and honor the life accomplishments of noteworthy people. Paine died on June 8, 1809. The 2023 Thomas Paine Day will be enhanced when more proclamations are written and approved by mayors, governors, and city councils.
