"Labor Day"
Labor Day is celebrated
on Monday September 1st, 2008
In both the United States
and Canada
Jesus said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest"
( Matthew 11:28 )
Labor Day, the only legal public holiday in September, comes on the first Monday of the month in Canada and the United States. After Labor Day, most children return to school.
"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."
( Ephesians 4:28 )
Here are two identical verses about LABOUR:
1. "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:"
( Exodus 20:9 )
2. "Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:"
( Deut 5:13 )

The origins of Labor Day are more than a century old.
The first Labor Day parade in New York City was held in September 1882.
Two men are credited with playing an important role not only in bringing about the parade but the holiday as well. Matthew Maguire, a machinist from Paterson, N.J., and Peter J. McGuire, a New York City carpenter who helped found the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, are said to have suggested a holiday to honor working people in the UnitedStates.
In 1887, Oregon became the first state to make Labor Day a legal holiday, and in 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill making Labor Day a national holiday.
Labor Day is observed as a legal holiday on the first Monday in September throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada.
In Australia, Labor Day is called Eight Hour Day, and it commemorates the successful struggle for a shorter working day.
In Europe, Labor Day is observed on May 1, also known as May Day.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
( Exodus 20:8-10 )(KJV) |
