Feriado seculare : 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.

Católica o Protestante : El Primer Concilio de Nicaea (reunión de obispos en los primeros días del cristianismo) quiso encontrar un día para conmemorar la crucifixión y resurrección de Cristo. Esta conmemoración tuvo que estar vinculada a las tradiciones navideñas judías, ya que se creía que la última cena de Cristo era una comida judía de Pascua. Pero el calendario judío se basa en los ciclos lunares y solares, por lo que la celebración de Pascua tuvo que seguir el mismo calendario.
