Patriot's Day celebration 

Battles of Lexington and Concord held on April 19, 1775, marked beginning of colonists' war for independence from Great Britain. Just two months after Parliament proclaimed Massachusetts in revolt, colony's courageous citizens took up arms and fought for freedom, ultimately leing to formation of United States of America. Governor Frederic T. Greenhalge of Massachusetts wanted to replace Fast Day (a n-rarely observed day of fasting and prayer that h been around since 17th century) in state calendar without declaring it a workday in 1894. Greenhalge was inspired by state's valiant fight for independence from British control, and renamed holiday Patriots' Day and moved it to April 19. 

Boston Marathon was introduced to celebration of Patriots' Day in 1897. It is influenced by restoration of marathon race at preceding year's summer Olympic games in Ans. It became a much-loved April 19 trition, almost as much as holiday itself. Boston Red Sox have also joined in on Patriots' Day by hosting a game at Fenway Park at 11:05 am enabling fans to see race finish. To make a three-day weekend, entire celebration was moved to third Monday in April in 1969.
