13 October - Lotu-a-Tamaiti in Tokelau
White Sunday, (in the Samoan language Lotu-a-Tamaiti, literally "Children's Service"), is a national holiday in Samoa falling on the second Sunday of October, with the Monday following a public holiday. It is also celebrated in American Samoa, Tokelau and Tonga.
During the International Sunday School Conference held in Rome in February 1909, it was resolved to make the third Sunday of October the International Children's Sunday, and so the Samoan White Sunday was changed from June to the third Sunday of October. Later on, this day was changed to the second Sunday of October,(as Mothers' Day is on the second Sunday in May and Fathers' Day is on the second Sunday in August). The centenary of White Sunday was celebrated in 1998 not only by Congregational Christian Church of Samoa (CCCS) churches in Samoa but also in CCCS churches in USA, Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand and American Samoa.
