Summary/Abstract: A continuation of the author’s deliberations from To Give Souls a National Form… Holidays and their celebration served not only to commemorate or honour a person or event. They also had an educational, formative and cognitive value as well as a social and culture-forming one. They engendered patriotic and civic attitudes, taught respect towards one’s history, tradition and religion, and helped preserve memory of the events that were significant, both for the nation and the state and locally, forming an attachment to the “little homeland” and integrating local populations and smaller communities, including school communities.
