Holidays have changed over time, so I would hope that a newly created holiday would honor someone or an event from history. If it did, then there would be a group of people that would want to celebrate it.

There is validity to the idea that holidays honor people or events, but as history has shown us, this has changed over time. Many holidays were originally created to honor people, but over time, many of them have been altered to honor places and events. The holiday of Columbus Day is one such holiday that was originally created to honor Christopher Columbus, but over time has been renamed to celebrate Italian heritage. Although Columbus Day was originally created to celebrate a man who changed the world, over time it has evolved into a way to celebrate Latin culture.

Other holidays have been created to honor people or events, but have been altered over time. For example, many holidays have been named after people, but over time, their names have been changed to honor people or events from history. For example, George Washington’s Birthday became Presidents’ Day to honor all the presidents who have held office. However, the holiday was originally named after George Washington, the first president of the United States. Another example is Memorial Day, originally created to honor the soldiers who died during the American Civil War, but over time the name has been changed to honor all people who have died while serving their country. In fact, Memorial Day is now celebrated on May 30, in remembrance of the Civil War Battle of Antietam, the first major casualty of the Civil War. Today, it is a holiday that honors all men and women who have died while serving their country.

Nowadays, holidays are often created to honor organizations or events, such as the 4th of July honoring the birth of the United States, or the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the United States. The holiday of Thanksgiving, originally created to honor a harvest festival, has been changed to honor Native Americans, who the pilgrims had befriended during their voyage to the New World. However, the holiday of Thanksgiving has also evolved over time. The Pilgrims originally celebrated their harvest festival at the end of the harvest season. Over time, the celebration was later moved to the fourth Thursday in November, to correspond with the harvest harvest season. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated not only on the fourth Thursday in November, but also on the fourth Monday of October. So, although holidays originally were created to honor people or events, over time, they have evolved to honor people, events, and organizations.

Therefore, if a new holiday were created, it would most likely honor a person or event. If it did, then there would a group of people that would want to celebrate it.
