The Holy Days and Fasting Days Act 1551 (5 & 6 Edw. 6. c. 3) was an Act of the Parliament of England.
It is sometimes claimed that this Act is still in force, and attention is drawn to a portion of the Act that states citizens must walk to a Christian church on Christmas Day. In reality, what had not already been repealed of this Act in previous legislation was repealed as part of the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1969, under section 1 of, and Part II of the Schedule to, the 1969 Act.
