Is this an iPhone question or a macOS High Sierra question? I can ask this site's Hosts to move it to an appropriate Discussions area.


If you want Christian holidays to appear on your devices, then subscribe to a Christian calendar. I provided one of many. If you want to argue, you'll have to do that on your own. I am not interested. Good day sir.

I contacted Apple Support through the chat app and over the phone and told them my calendar is broken. I was promised that the removal of Easter was not intentional and that they are working to adding it back with the next update.

Most of you would not care about this issue, however, could you imagine the outrage if they removed for example sake, MLK day or Earthday? I

Dude, where's your hostility coming from? I hope you don't represent APPLE... My question had to do with simply having to do with what had always been a feature on calendars in this American market. Nothing argumentative about it. Since it changes every year, the dates are important to me, and I'm questioning where, not why, they fall this year. Sheesh!

KiltedTim, "irrelevant" like...Groundhog Day...or Indigenous People's Day "relevant"? I'm not clear as to where your intolerance and hostility is coming from...but I dare say that Easter just might be of a more populous interest than either of the two I just mentioned that are featured in my iCal calendar. I just don't get your anger toward the question. Using the term "bogged down" is highly irrelevant to the question. Plus, I don't see the disconnect between Easter and Christmas, as both of those are celebrated well outside the realm of "worship" by many Americans, not just with your narrowly identified people group - Christians. And, I agree with you that obviously every religion and religious holiday does NOT need to be thrown into the iCal, for sure. Those are typically religious holidays, whereas Christmas and Easter (you know, the bunnies, eggs, and stuff unrelated to religious acknowledgement) are truly cultural celebrations. Hey, maybe that's just me, though...

Not subscribing to your belief system is not "hostile". If you want your religious holidays on your calendar, then subscribe to a calendar that includes them.


Good Friday and Easter are not recognized Federal Holidays in the US. Nor should they be.

Trying to force your belief system on others by claiming that your holidays are "cultural celebrations" is "hostile". Please don't do that.

There is no perceived or implied "forcing" of anything upon anyone in my request. If there is, please identify it.


Dudes, I just want to know when to buy the Easter eggs! The date changes each year, and my assumption is that Apple/Mac serves the majority community by choosing to list important dates.



To your statement, "Good Friday and Easter are not recognized Federal Holidays" (your emphasis on "not")...the last time I checked, neither was "Groundhog Day" or "Indigenous People's Day" as if that were the determining factor of placement on iCal.
