October 31 is commonly associated with trick-or-treating, costume parties, haunted houses and jack-o’-lanterns, but Halloween also has religious roots as All Hallows' Eve, which precedes a Christian holy day honoring saints. The origins of the holiday are open to dispute. Just make sure you get the candy ready!

On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists launched suicide missions against the United States, using four hijacked airliners, two of which were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane slammed into the Pentagon. The fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The New Yorker has devoted several covers to the devastatingly horrific attacks and their aftermath.

I don’t get too excited about holidays, with one major exception. I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for Christmas. The New Yorker has run many Christmas covers over the years, some of which, such as those by the late George Booth, are quite memorable.

In a 1697 play entitled The Mourning Bride, William Congreve famously wrote: “Musick has Charms to soothe a savage Breast, To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.” On a more humble level, music may bring a smile to a reader’s lips, when depicted on a magazine cover.

Pets come in many species, but cats and dogs are the most popular. The American Veterinary Medical Association reported in 2024 that the dog population in the U.S. stood at 89.7 million, while the cat population logged in at 73.8 million. The cute and lovable critters have worked their way onto the cover of The New Yorker more than a few times.

Valentine's Day (aka, Saint Valentine's Day) is both a secular holiday and, in its religious context, a holy day as well. Celebrated on February 14, it originated as “a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine,” according to Wikipedia. It later became a celebration of  love, which is how many of us know it today.
