Parades, Holidays, and Public Rituals Encyclopedia of American Social History, Volume 3, ©1993 Published by, and used with the permission of, Charles Scribner's Sons , 1633 Broadway, New York, New York 10019 Robert A. Orsi Jump to an Article Section: Introduction: Days Off From Calendar to Covenant A People Free and Enlightened Surprising Conversions ... Bibliography Introduction: Days Off Holidays by definition are times out of time, when the familiar rhythms and practices of everyday life are temporarily suspended and replaced, often dramatically, by other possibilities, experiences, and sensations. Holidays of all sorts (official and unofficial, spontaneous and planned, secular and religious) are "days off" from the disciplines and demands of work, the usual relations among family members and friends, the familiar geography and ecology of everyday life, and even from what regularly passes as a person's normal self. The variety of American holidays, from Memorial Day solemnities to the green-dyed hilarities of Saint Patrick's Day, have generally been interpreted as events of cohesion and integration. The great celebrations of civic life are viewed as the sacred liturgies of the nation's civil religion, while the festivals of immigrants are presented both as the way that the uprooted preserved and passed on their cultural traditions to their children and, at the same time, that both generations were connected (or connected themselves) to the national narrative. In a diverse, pluralistic society, according to these arguments, holidays and holy days have maintained the integrity of the different peoples of the United States as they have brought them together into one nation and a common civic culture.

Sing to it, poets; shout to it, freemen; celebrate it with bonfires, parades, and triumphant assemblies" Daily Alta California, 4 July 1855). INDEX Bulletin Board: September 12, 2005. One of the interesting and important ceremonies in the early 19th century occurred on July 4, 1815, when the cornerstone for the Washington Monument in Baltimore was laid. The event took place in Howard's Park at Noon. Present were a number of dignitaries including Col. John E. Howard, President of the State Society of Cincinnati. Thirty thousand spectators were present and heard a 100-gun salute, likely the largest artillery salute given on the Fourth up to that time. Today those interested can visit Baltimore and see the cornerstone ( Frederick-Town Herald, 15 July 1815, 3).
