“This year Anzac day and the Easter Monday public holiday coincide. For the first time since 1859 (and for the last time until 2038), Easter Monday falls on April 25th – the ANZAC Day public holiday.

For almost 2000 years the Easter ‘Holy Days’ have been the central religious event in the calendars of the Western world, but the clash this year is timely for it signals a deeper reality. ANZAC Day is increasingly staking a claim to replace Easter as the major religious holiday in 21st Century Australia.”
