[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, Valentines Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Fat Tuesday, Feast of the Immaculate Conception, All Saints Day. There is a lot  [/quote]

Valentine day and St Patrick's day are off limits for work obligations?

[/quote]

Yes, there are many people that have private events to celebrate these popular days.
Giving religious celebrations special treatment would be discrimination. [/quote]
