Default Holy Week

Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.


Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.


Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

The verses above have been emphasized in our church. The "Holy Week" is fanatically observed in many parts of our country, including our town.
Our church's kindergarten school, not "realizing" that Holy Week is in March this year, has "accidentally" set the recognition day on "Black Saturday" and the graduation day on "Easter Sunday". (Since the school is part of the church ministry, the closing program or "moving-up exercises" was set Sunday.) Ninety-nine percent of the parents (the majority of whom were Catholics) see no problem, except for one or two devotees. Since the date have already been fixed in the school calendar, there were no changes made. What is your opinion?
