Weltliche Feiertage : On this day in 1960 the police killed 69 people at Sharpeville who were participating in a protest against the pass laws. Many were shot in the back. The carnage made world headlines. Four days later the government banned black political organizations, many leaders were arrested or went into exile. During the Apartheid era there were human rights abuses by all sides; Human Rights Day is but one step to ensure that the people of South Africa are aware of their human rights and to ensure that such abuses never again occur.

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Das Erste Konzil von Nicäa (eine Versammlung von Bischöfen in den frühen Tagen des Christentums) wollte einen Tag finden, um der Kreuzigung und Auferstehung Christi zu gedenken. Dieses Gedenken musste mit jüdischen Feiertagstraditionen verbunden werden, da das letzte Abendmahl Christi als jüdisches Passadenmahl geglaubt wurde. Aber der jüdische Kalender basiert auf Mond- und Sonnenzyklen, so dass die Osterfeier dem gleichen Kalender folgen musste.

Weltliche Feiertage : It was typical in South Africa to take a day off of work after Easter. This day, which is also known as Easter Monday, was renamed as Family Day in 1995. This extra day off for the holiday was meant to give families more quality family time together and to allow them to go on vacations with friends and family.
