The+title
hi,
Can anyone please tell me why the article 'the' is not needed for titles? Or is it optional?
For example,
1. In conjunction with (the) World Environment Day, the department of health organised a "Love Your Environment' week.

The same reason why we don't write:
"We celebrate the Christmas Day on Dec 25 every year"
Articles "a", "an" and "the" are commonly not used for names of cities, countries, buildings, special days, holidays, etc., etc.

I'm not confused. What i meant was titles for movies and special days or events such as (the) Green Day, (the) friendship day, and (the) Malaysian Beauty Contest.
