DESCRIPTION:

World Leprosy Day takes place on the last Sunday in January. The day aims to raise awareness of a disease that many people believe is extinct, when in fact, around 210,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. The first documented case occurred near 600 BC.

The last Sunday in January was chosen by French humanitarian Raoul Follereau in 1953 as the third Sunday from Epiphany from the Catholic calendar. The Catholic Church then reads the story of The Gospel of Luke, where Jesus meets and heals a person with leprosy.
