Dr. Peter Hammond has written a newsletter that I would like to repeat here.
Concerning The Day of the Covenant, Hammond writes:
“For over a century and a half, throughout South Africa, 16 December has been observed as The Day of the Covenant. Marking the decisive Battle of Blood River, the Day of the Covenant has been recognised by many, not only as a victory for the Voortrekkers, but as a triumph for Western civilization and Christianity in Africa.”
