[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because it's on a calendar doesn't mean that:

1) People understand the significance.  
2) People know your personal level of adherence.

Also, let's please not pretend that this only happens to religious minorities in the US.  The percentage of Americans that can list the Holy Days of Obligation for Catholics must be exceptionally small.  We should all maintain broad understanding of other cultures/religions, but it's unreasonable to expect global awareness.  It's okay for people to have to advocate for themselves.[/quote]

Catholics who observe the Holy Days of Obligation (that aren't already federal holidays because the federal calendar is built on Christianity) are a religious minority in the United States. [/quote]

As are many of the more observant populations within any religion.  Which is why people shouldn't assume about the practices of others and why practitioners need to be comfortable speaking up about their restrictions.  [/quote]
