Holy Experiment Day

Holy Experiment Day is an annual American holiday that encourages people to tolerate other faiths and accept their religious characteristics. The purpose of any religion is to unite people to one another, and to speak out against conflict, racial humiliation, and war. Society should live in peace and understanding. It is celebrated on March 4.

History

The story of Holy Experiment Day goes back to the colonial era. A native of the Admiralty family of England, William Penn Jr. decided to establish a colony in what is now Pennsylvania. He had grand plans whereby the colony would be inhabited by people who were completely tolerant of the religious beliefs of others. There would be mutual understanding in a society free of persecution, contemptuous glances, and insults. William made this decision based on personal experience when the Quaker sect in England was being persecuted for its worldview.

In 1681 Penn established its colony. A law was passed that established freedom and guaranteed the acceptance of any religion of the people living in the territory. He called “The Holy Experiment” his policy. Members of any religious minority could find refuge in the colony. However, society could not hold on to religious faith alone, so conflicts erupted on various grounds anyway. Penn’s experiment was a failure, but that doesn’t stop us from celebrating Holy Experiment Day today and making every effort to eradicate religious divisions.
