The European Commission has apologised for printing more than three million school diaries containing no reference to Easter or Christmas.

The diaries – 330,000 of which were delivered to UK schools – note Sikh, Hindu, Muslim and Chinese festivals, as well as highlighting ”Europe Day” which falls on May 9. But the lack of any acknowledgement of Easter, Christmas or any other Christian holiday angered church leaders and politicians. Earlier this year a Commission official admitted the omission was a ”blunder”.
