| Día de las Víctimas de la Bomba Atómica - Jueves 1 Marzo, 2018 Feriado seculare : Between 1946 and 1958, the USA conducted 67 nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands, all of which were considered atmospheric. The most powerful of those tests was the Bravo shot, a 15 megaton device detonated on March 1, 1954, at Bikini atoll. That test alone was equivalent to 1,000 Hiroshima bombs. This public holiday is a tribute to those who died or were injured as a consequence of these tests. http://www.nuclearclaimstribunal.com/testing.htm

| Viernes Santo - Viernes 30 Marzo, 2018 Católica o Protestante : The First Council of Nicaea (a gathering of bishops in the early days of Christianity) wanted to find a day to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. This commemoration had to be linked to Jewish holiday traditions, since the last supper of Christ was believed to be a Jewish Passover meal. But the Jewish calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles, so the Easter celebration had to follow the same calendar.
