Manitas, I was meaning in the same way as any other relgious holiday, but as I teach and my holidays are set, the two biggest days for us are in term time. Teachers have no 'annual leave' as such. This is something which is being considered already under the new legislation and I did bring it up at the highest levels as part of the government consultation. The same applies to anyone who has set holidays whose religious obsevance days are outside of their set holidays. I am not talking about having them as Bank Holidays and didn't say that.
