| | Religious Holidays in School |
 | | This work can be done only by showing sensitivity to the needs of every student and a willingness to steer a course between the avoidance of all references to religion on one hand and the promotion of religion on the other. | | | School districts developing guidelines about religious holidays will want to base their policies in the shared commitment of respect for individual religious beliefs expressed in the constitutional guarantee of religious liberty. | | | Teachers may not use the study of religious holidays as an opportunity to proselytize or to inject personal religious beliefs into the discussions. |

| | Another legend associated with the Easter holiday - although Easter Sunday itself is not a public holiday - is that of the passion flower, of which there is a Bermuda species. | | | It originates from the old days in England when, to compensate their servants for working extra hard in the preparation of extravagant, all day Christmas Day feasts, members of the aristocracy and gentry were inclined to reward the former with "boxes" of game from their estates, or goodies, as well as the day off. | | | Despite being referred to in history as the Father of Bermuda, Admiral Sir George Somers is nowadays almost completely ignored on the second of the 2-day public holiday period, known in his honor as Somers Day. |
