How do I remove "Holi" (March 2) from my iphone calendar?

On my chosen US Holiday calendar I expect to see the following according to the Federal holidays established by law (5 U.S.C. 6103):

• New Year's Day (January 1).
• Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. (Third Monday in January).
• Washington's Birthday (Third Monday in February).
• Memorial Day (Last Monday in May).
• Independence Day (July 4).
• Labor Day (First Monday in September).
• Columbus Day (Second Monday in October).
• Veterans Day (November 11).
• Thanksgiving Day (Fourth Thursday in November).
• Christmas Day (December 25).

For information on the observation of these holidays within Federal employee work schedules, please see the Federal holidays fact sheet at http://www.opm.gov/oca/WORKSCH/HTML/HOLIDAY.asp.

I subscribe to my chosen religious (Christian) holidays and I appreciate that this is an option; it is here I expect to see holidays associated with my Christianity. "Holi" is not a part of my chosen religion and according to law (per above) it is not a US Holiday, it is a Hindu festival. It needs to be removed. Thanks Apple, we'd like this corrected.

Apparently you have not been following the long, drawn out, painful saga here. What you have listed above is exactly what Apple tried to do - put out an actual US Holidays calendar. And what happened? Thousands of Christians accused Apple of all sorts of things because Easter was no longer showing. Did it matter that they could download a Christian calendar with all important Christian holidays to augment the US Holidays one? Not one whit. Threats of lawsuits followed by promises to abandon all Apple products ensued and went on for days. Then, Apple re-issued the Calendar with Easter put back on it. In addition, they added important religious holidays for all of the other Major religions in the world. Since all of those religions are practiced by Americans all over the country.

But, NO, that WASN'T OK either. The Christians came back accusing Apple of trying to be "PC", or of acting like a bratty kid who decided that if you didn't it one way, then they would give it to you all ways.

It's a no-win situation. If you don't like the new US Holiday Calendar, unsubscribe from it, subscribe to a normal, secular, US Calendar, and, and you have already done, keep your subscription to the Religious calendar of your choice.

The amazing thing is that all of these things meld together so nicely, that one can truly customize their calendar to be exactly like they would like it to be. Unfortunately for the rest of us, a gang of entitled, overreacting, infantile people wanted it their way, and felt that they should not have to make even the tiniest effort to take advantage of the ability to customize. They wanted it their way and they wanted it that way NOW!!! 🙄

So, thank you for being a reasonable person. It is quite refreshing to find a person who understands the beauty of calendar subscriptions and how to use them. I find it amazing how people can make such a huge deal out of something so trivial that is so easily rectified. If only they could spend even a tiny bit of that energy toward trying to find solutions to real problems, like hunger, thirst, illness, hatred, you get it....
