The Importance of Ascension Day
2003 - Vol 2
QUOTE “The very name holiday means “holy day.” Most holidays have religious significance. The events that a society chooses to centre its holidays around speak volumes about the religious worldview and value systems of that society.
For example: Ascension Day used to be a holiday in South Africa. Yet few of us ever appreciated its significance, until the government abolished it as a public holiday. It has been replaced with days that celebrate mankind, such as “Human Rights’ Day”; ”Women’s Day”; “Workers’ Day” and ”Youth Day” - yet another indication that our government has rejected Christianity and embraced Humanism.
This is far more serious than we may at first suspect. Along with these secular “holy days” have come the abolition of prayer in Parliament and the legalisation of abortion, homosexuality, gambling and pornography……..”
