    Catholic or protestant : 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.

    Monday september 2, 2024
    Secular holiday : In late August 1415, King John I of Portugal led an assault that would come to be known as the Conquest of Ceuta. The Portuguese caught the city with no sweat. Possibly this is the reason no one idea about what flag to use after the city was taken. Fortunately, somebody had packed the flag of Lisbon, which they all chose would be an incredible design for Ceuta. The coat of arms of Portugal was added to the center and that flag is as yet used for Ceuta today. Over the next hundreds of years, Spain and Portugal Ceuta quarreled like Iberian brothers with Ceuta passing between them. The city was at long last surrendered to King Carlos II of Spain on January 1st, 1668 by the Treaty of Lisbon. Even though Ceuta was vanquished by Portugal on August 22nd, 1415, it is praised on September 2nd as Spain and Portugal received the Gregorian calendar in 1582, pushing dates ahead by ten days.
