Although Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, was never a federal holiday, nearly half of the state governments have officially renamed their Washington’s Birthday observances as “Presidents’ Day”, “Washington and Lincoln Day”, or other such designations. However, “Presidents’ Day” is not always an all-inclusive term and might refer to only a selection of presidents!!
Jesus-Yeshua Christ-Messiah Loves Ye ALL!!
In the following states and possessions, Washington’s Birthday is an official state holiday and known as:

Several states honor presidents with official date holidays that do not fall on the third Monday of February. In Massachusetts, the state officially celebrates “Washington’s Birthday” on the same day as the Federal holiday. State law also directs the governor to issue an annual “Presidents Day” proclamation on May 29 ( John F. Kennedy‘s birthday ), honoring the presidents with Massachusetts roots: Kennedy, John Adams / John Quincy Adams, and Calvin Coolidge. In California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, while Washington’s Birthday is a federal holiday, Abraham Lincoln’s birthday is still a state holiday, falling on February 12 regardless of the day of the week. In New Mexico, Presidents’ Day, at least as a state-government paid holiday, is observed on the Friday following Thanksgiving. In Georgia, Presidents’ Day, at least as a state-government paid holiday, is observed on Christmas Eve ( Observed on the prior Thursday if Christmas falls on Saturday; observed on the prior Friday if Christmas falls on a Sunday. If December 24 is a Wednesday, then this holiday is observed on Friday December 26. )!!
George Washington was a Devout Christian Patriot!!
Abraham Lincoln was a Christian Patriot!!
In God We Still Trust with lyrics Diamond Rio!!
( Proverbs 14:34 KJV ) “Righteousness exalteth a Nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.”!! TRUST in the LORD Jesus-Yeshua Christ TODAY!!
Very few (perhaps no more than two) of our presidents deserve to have a day named after them. Honoring all who hold or have held the office greatly diminishes the respect due the few who deserve it. That is almost like awarding a person a Nobel Prize for having a pulse.
