History Of Holiday On Second Saturday
The question I have been dwelling on why "second Saturday holiday?" was finally unfolded by the archives of newspapers. Here we go
The origin of the Second Saturday holiday tradition dates back to the days of the East India Company.
The Book of Genesis in the Holy Bible says "The Seventh Day or Saturday was the day for rest and worship after the six days it took God to create the world". Planet Saturn, from which the day’s name is derived, is the second-largest, the second of Saturdays in a month was designated as a holiday.
The Jews observe Saturdays as the day of Sabbath, this Israel's tradition.
Derived from the Biblical Sabbath in Christianity, Saturday is a weekly day of rest or religious observance.

Seventh-day Sabbath observance is practiced by seventh-day Sabbatarians, i.e. resting from labor from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. Sabbath is an important part of the belief and practice of seventh-day Christians. These believers observe Sabbath on the seventh Hebrew day of the week, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset, in a similar manner as in Judaism, rather than Lord's Day on Sunday like most forms of Christianity. They believe that keeping the seventh-day Sabbath weekly and physically is a moral responsibility, equal to that of any other of the Ten Commandments, that honors God as Creator and Deliverer. The requirement to keep the seventh day holy is found in the fourth commandment of God's Law.
Most employers give their workers either a half-day or a full holiday on this day, in support of this historical belief, across cultures. Sacramento Second Saturday Art Walk is a program in Sacramento, California of local art galleries that stay open into the late evenings every second Saturday of each month.
