The Church of Scientology recognizes March 13, the birthday of founder L. Ron Hubbard, as a religious holiday. While there is no formal ritual to mark the day, individual Scientologists are encouraged to expand community activities in memory of a man Scientologists consider a great humanitarian.
The practice of celebrating Hubbard's birthday has been in existence since the 1970s. The specifics of how Hubbard is remembered come from a request made by Hubbard himself.
Types of Community Service:
Scientologists have numerous means of outreach to both their nearby communities and to the wider world, both on March 13 and throughout the year. Common examples include:
Missionary work, spreading the teachings of Scientology
Emergency disaster relief
Participation in drug education and prevention programs
Promotion of human rights
