Katholisch oder protestantisch : The First Council of Nicaea (a gathering of bishops in the early days of Christianity) wanted to find a day to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. This commemoration had to be linked to Jewish holiday traditions, since the last supper of Christ was believed to be a Jewish Passover meal. But the Jewish calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles, so the Easter celebration had to follow the same calendar.

Katholisch : Easter Saturday Christian community only

Weltliche Feiertage : Chicago, Samstg, den 1. Mai 1886: 350 000 Arbeiter streiken für einen Acht-Stunden-Tag. Gewerbeindustrien wurden landesweit lahmgelegt. Die Polizei löste die Demonstrationen an jenem Montag auf. Am darauffolgenden Tag streikt Chicago immer noch. Als die Polizei den Protestmarsch auflösen wollte, explodierte eine Bombe. Es kostete zwölf Menschen das Leben, unter denen sieben Polizisten. Acht Anarchisten wurden verurteilt und hingerichtet. Im Jahre 1889 traf sich das Socialist International Movement in Paris und erklärte diesen Tag zum internationalen Tag der Arbeit . Die Soviets, wie auch die Nazis, folgen diesem Beispiel. In Frankreich, unter dem Regime von Vichy (1940-1944), wurde dieses Fest zum Labour Day umbenannt.
