Red Letter Days
Red Letter Days are times when prayer, projects, educational opportunities or special occasions are remembered. These are called Red Letter Days because the days were emphasized on calendars by printing the day with red ink. Other Red Letter Days include: Sundays, Christmas, Easter, Father's Day, Children's Day, etc.
