Special fasting days were once called by countries and churches as well. I.e. special days were set aside for special purposes.

I see nothing wrong with focusing on the resurrection during a certain time of year, as long as it is seen as optional and not obligatory.

Or in times of national disaster, to focus a special day upon those disasters.
