    Quebec's National Holiday[1] (French:La Fte nationale du Qubec) is celebrated annually on June 24, St. John the

    Baptist Day[2][3]

    In Quebec, the national holiday[2] is a paid statutory public holiday covered under the Act Respecting Labour

    Standards.[4] The festivities occur on June 23 and 24, and since 1978 are publicly financed and organized by a

    National Holiday Organizing Committee (Comit organisateur de la fte nationale). June 24 continues to be

    celebrated as a festival of French Canadian culture in other Canadian provinces[5][6][7] and the United States.[8][9]

    Origins

    The feast day of Saint John the Baptist or Midsummer was a very popular event in the Ancien rgime of France, and

    it is still celebrated as a religious feast day in several countries, like Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia,

    Spain, Latvia and Lithuania.

    The tradition landed in Canada with the first French colonists. According to the Jesuit Relations, the first

    celebrations occurred on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River on the evening of June 23, 1636, with a bonfire and

    five cannon shots.[]

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day

    The green, white and red tricolour used by the Parti patriote between

    1832 and 1838

    In Lower Canada, the celebration of

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day took a patriotic tone in 1834

    on the initiative of one of the founders of the

    newspaper La Minerve, Ludger Duvernay, who would

    later become the first president of theSaint-Jean-Baptiste Society (SSJB). In the spring of

    1834, Duvernay and other Patriotes attended the

    celebrations of the first St. Patrick's Day, the

    celebration of the Irish diaspora, in Montreal. This

    would have given him and others the idea of organizing

    something similar for all the Canadiens and their

    friends.[10]

    On that June 24, George-tienne Cartier's " Canada! mon pays, mes amours" was first sung during a grand

    patriotic banquet gathering about sixty francophones and anglophones of Montreal,[11]

    in the gardens of lawyer JohnMcDonnell, near the old Windsor Station. The Canada in the song refers to Lower Canada, today's southern Quebec.

    Rounds of toasts went to the Parti patriote, the United States, Ireland, and the Ninety-Two Resolutions. [12]

    Two days later,La Minerve concluded: "This holiday, whose goal is to solidify the union of the Canadiens, will not

    go without bearing fruit. It will be celebrated annually as a national holiday and will not miss producing the happiest

    results."[13] The celebration recurred in 1835, 1836, 1837.

    Following the defeat of the insurrectional movement during the Lower Canada Rebellion and the military repressions

    which followed, the day was not celebrated for several years.[10]

    Drapeau Carillon Sacr-Coeur: A Carillon flag waved by people on

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day from its creation in 1902 until 1948. The

    current Flag of Quebec is based on this design, and was adopted in

    1948.

    In 1843, Duvernay established the charitable

    Association Saint-Jean Baptiste in order to have the

    Saint-Jean Baptiste celebrated that year. The

    association was chartered in 1849 with the mission of

    promoting social and moral progress. (See

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society.)

    The celebrations were supported by the Catholic

    Church and were primarily religious around that time.

    The lighting of bonfires, a traditional custom on the

    Nativity of Saint John which ultimately reached back to

    pre-Christian Midsummer celebrations were still lit at

    night.[14] In addition, the first Saint-Jean-Baptisteparades were organized. They became an important

    tradition over time. The procession of allegorical floats

    was introduced in 1874.[15]

    On June 24, 1880, the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society

    organized the gathering of all francophone communities across North America. The event was the first National

    Congress of French Canadians (Congrs national des Canadiens franais). On this occasion, the citizens of Quebec

    City were the first ones to hear the " Canada" of Calixa Lavalle, based on a poem by a Quebec Superior Court

    judge, Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song was commissioned by the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society. It was well

    received but did not become a widely known song for many years. English words were later written for a royal tour

    in 1901. In 1980, "O Canada" became the official national anthem of Canada.

    In 1908, Pope Pius X designated St. John the Baptist as the patron saint of French Canadians. From 1914 to 1923 the

    processions were not held. In 1925, 91 years after the Ludger Duvernay's banquet in Montreal, June 24 became a

    legal holiday in Quebec.

    Quebec City on the eve ofSaint-Jean-Baptiste Day

    In Quebec, June 24 (St. John the Baptist Day), or

    Quebec's National Holiday, is officially a paid statutory

    public holiday covered under the Act Respecting

    Labour Standards.[2][3][4] In 1977, an Order in Council

    by Lieutenant Governor Hugues Lapointe, on the

    advice of Ren Lvesque, declared June 24 the national

    holiday in Quebec.

    The following year, the National Holiday Organizing

    Committee was created. The committee initially

    entrusted the organization of the events to the Socitdes festivals populaires du Qubec. In 1984, on the

    occasion of the 150th anniversary of the SSJB, the

    organization of the celebrations was entrusted to the

    Mouvement national des Qubcoises et des Qubcois

    (MNQ).[16][17]

    After it became a statutory holiday, June 24 was officially a holiday for all Quebecers rather than only those of

    French-Canadian or Catholic origins. Celebrations were gradually secularized, primarily due to actions taken by the

    MNQ, and June 23 and 24 became as we now know them. While the religious significance of the civic celebration is

    gone, the day remains popularly called la St-Jean-Baptiste or simply la St-Jean and is still observed in churches.

    In 2010 and 2011, Franco-Ontarian New Democratic MP Claude Gravelle introduced a private member's bill in the

    House of Commons to recognize St John the Baptist Day as a federal holiday in Canada. [18][]

    Political nature of the celebration

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day

    During and immediately after the Quiet Revolution,

    Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day became highly politicized. The

    religious symbolism associated with the celebrations

    was replaced by political ideals of Quebec separatism.

    Governor General Georges Vanier, who, as viceroy,had always fostered unity and biculturalism, found

    himself the target of Quebec sovereigntists in Montreal,

    on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, 1964, wherein a group of

    sovereigntists held placards reading "Vanier vendu"

    ("Vanier the sell-out") and "Vanier fou de la Reine"

    ("Vanier, jester to the Queen").[19]

    Four years later, with the new Prime Minister Pierre

    Trudeau in attendance on the eve of a general election,

    a riot broke out on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day. A group of
