Pascua Florida is a Spanish term that means ''flowery festival'' or ''feast of flowers''. It usually refers to the Easter season (The Passion of the Christ). (''Pascua'' can, depending on context, refer to Easter, Christmas, Epiphany, Pentecost, or the Jewish Passover.) For the connection to the name of the state of Florida, see Spanish Florida and Juan Ponce de León. Pascua Florida Day is usually celebrated on April 2, unless the 2nd falls on a weekend. When it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the governor may declare either the preceding Friday or following Monday as the state day. According to the 2007 Florida Senate Statutes, the Governor of Florida may annually issue a proclamation designating April 2 as the state day and designating the week of March 27 to April 2 as "Pascua Florida Week" and calling upon public schools and citizens of Florida to observe the same as a patriotic occasion.〔http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/pascua-florida-day Pascua Florida Day in United States〕 ==References== *Florida Statutes, Section 683.06 *(Definitions for ''pascua'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pascua Florida」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
