A Leap Year is an extra day added into the calendar every four years. It is part of the Gregorian Calendar and was first introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC.
The extra day is added to keep the calendar in sync with the Earth’s yearly orbit around the sun. It is a special year that happens only once every four years, on February 29th.
Leap Year has been celebrated around the world for centuries and many cultures have their own traditions that come along with it. In Ireland, it is tradition to propose marriage on Leap Day, while in Scotland women are allowed to propose marriage on Leap Day instead of men. People born on February 29th are known as “leaplings” and often celebrate their birthdays on February 28th or March 1st in non-leap years.
So, does Amazon Prime include any special features for Leap Year? Unfortunately, there isn’t anything specific to Leap Year available on Amazon Prime right now.
However, there are plenty of movies and TV shows available that feature Leap Year in some way or another. For example, Leap Year (2010) starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode follows a woman who travels to Ireland to propose to her boyfriend on Leap Day.
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004) also stars Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis who learns that she must be married before her 21st birthday or she will lose her right to be Queen of Genovia. To make sure she meets this deadline, Mia sets out on a mad dash around Europe during which she encounters some wild adventures — one of which includes a stop in Ireland for a Leap Day celebration.
