Stonewall Jackson Day
· January varies
Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was one of history’s most openly Christian generals — a man who went to battle with the Bible in hand and the conviction that God’s sovereignty governed the outcome of every engagement.
Valentines Day
· February 14
Learn the real history behind Valentine’s Day of the Christian martyr who defied Roman tyranny to serve the church — a reminder that love, rightly understood, is rooted in sacrifice and truth.
George Washington’s Birthday
· February 22
George Washington was not merely a military genius but a man of demonstrable Providence — shaped by prayer, protected in battle, and convinced that the American experiment could only survive under the favor of God.
St. Patrick’s Day
Patrick was no legend but a real missionary who brought the Gospel to pagan Ireland, modeling the kind of bold, self-sacrificing faith that transforms nations.
First Landing Day
On April 26, 1607, the first English settlers came ashore at Cape Henry, Virginia, and before doing anything else, planted a cross and prayed — consecrating the American continent to the glory of God from its very first moment of settlement.
National Day of Prayer
· May 7
Established by Congress and rooted in a tradition stretching back to the Continental Congress, the National Day of Prayer is a public acknowledgment that America’s survival and blessing depend on the mercy of God.
Memorial Day
Memorial Day calls a free people to remember that their liberty was purchased at a price — by men and women who gave their lives in service to a nation founded on the conviction that rights come from God, not government.
Flag Day
The American flag represents not mere national pride but a covenant people’s claim that ordered liberty under God is worth defending — the same conviction that drove the founders to pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.
Independence Day
The Declaration of Independence was not a political document alone but a theological one — grounding the rights of man in the self-evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with liberties no government may rightly take away.
Constitution Day
The Constitution of 1787 was the Founders’ attempt to encode Biblical principles of limited government, separated powers, and protected liberty into a framework designed to restrain the fallen nature of man in public office.
Columbus Day
Columbus sailed west explicitly for a Christian mission, not merely for gold and glory — convinced that Providence had chosen him to carry the Gospel to unreached peoples across an unknown sea.
Reformation Day
On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther’s challenge to a corrupted church ignited a movement that recovered the Gospel, restored Scripture to the people, and laid the theological foundation for Western liberty.
Thanksgiving
Rooted in the Pilgrims’ covenant gratitude to Providence, Thanksgiving stands as a distinctly American Christian acknowledgment that liberty and abundance are gifts from God, not the achievements of man.
Bill of Rights Day
The Bill of Rights did not grant Americans their freedoms but recognized them — acknowledging that rights of conscience, speech, and self-defense are endowments of the Creator that government exists to protect, not bestow.
Forefathers’ Day
Forefathers’ Day commemorates the Pilgrims’ arrival at Plymouth in December 1620 — honoring a small band of covenant believers whose faith, sacrifice, and self-governing principles became the seed of American liberty.
Christmas
The birth of Jesus Christ is the central event of all human history — God entering His creation to redeem fallen man and fulfill every promise He had made to His people.
