About these holidays

New Year's Day

1 January. In many countries the day off moves to the following Monday when it falls on a weekend.

The first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and the most widely observed public holiday in the world — a day off in almost every country that uses the Gregorian calendar, regardless of religion. Several countries extend the break to 2 January, and some in East Asia keep both the Gregorian and a separate lunar new year.

National Heroes Day

Varies by country.

Honours the figures a country regards as founders or liberators. Common across the Caribbean, southern Africa and the Philippines.

Ash Wednesday

46 days before Easter Sunday — the Wednesday after Carnival.

The first day of Lent in Western Christianity, marked by the imposition of ashes. Rarely a full public holiday; in much of Latin America and southern Europe it is a half day closing out Carnival.

Good Friday

The Friday before Easter Sunday.

Commemorates the crucifixion, and is the most widely observed Christian public holiday after Christmas. Together with Easter Monday it produces a four-day weekend in much of Europe, the Commonwealth and Latin America. In several countries it also carries trading or entertainment restrictions beyond the day off itself.

Easter Monday

The Monday after Easter Sunday.

A public holiday across most of Europe, the Commonwealth and Latin America, extending the Easter weekend to four days. Notably not a holiday in the United States, Portugal or Spain outside Catalonia and the Balearics.

Emancipation Day

1 August across the British Caribbean; other dates elsewhere.

Marks the abolition of slavery. Observed across the Caribbean, in parts of Canada and the United States, and in several African states.

Constitution Day

The anniversary of the adoption of the constitution — varies by country.

Marks the adoption of a country's constitution. A major public holiday in Norway, Poland, Denmark, Japan, Mexico and South Korea, among others.

Remembrance Day

11 November in most of the Commonwealth.

Honours those who died in war, marked by two minutes' silence and the poppy. A public holiday in most Canadian provinces; an observance in the United Kingdom, where the main commemoration moves to the preceding Sunday.

Christmas Day

25 December. The day off moves to the following weekday when it falls on a weekend.

The most widely observed public holiday after New Year's Day, a day off in the great majority of countries including many with no Christian majority, where it functions as a secular end-of-year holiday. Orthodox churches following the Julian calendar keep it on 7 January instead.

Boxing Day

26 December, moving to the next weekday when it falls on a weekend.

The second day of Christmas, a public holiday across the Commonwealth and much of Europe. Known as St Stephen's Day in Ireland, Italy and Central Europe, and as the Second Day of Christmas in the Nordics and the Netherlands.

Day off for Boxing Day

The next available weekday when 26 December falls on a weekend.

The substitute day for Boxing Day. When Christmas and Boxing Day both fall on a weekend the substitutes land on the Monday and Tuesday that follow.
