About these holidays
New Year
1 January.
The start of the Gregorian calendar year. Some sources list this alongside a separate New Year's Day entry when a country grants more than one day off around the turn of the year.
International Women's Day
8 March.
Marks the struggle for women's rights, with roots in the labour movement of the early 1900s. A full public holiday across the post-Soviet states; a half day for women only in China; and an observance in most of the rest of the world.
May Day
1 May, or in some countries the first Monday of May.
1 May, combining an older spring festival with International Workers' Day. The United Kingdom and Ireland move the day off to the first Monday of the month.
Liberation Day
The anniversary of liberation from occupation — varies by country.
Marks the end of a foreign occupation, most often the end of Axis occupation in 1944–45. Observed in Italy, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and a number of African and Asian states.
National Day
Varies by country — a founding, unification, or constitutional anniversary.
The principal patriotic holiday of a country that does not frame its national day as independence — a founding, unification, revolution or monarch's day depending on the state.
Mother's Day
The second Sunday of May in most countries, but the date varies widely.
Honours mothers. Falling on a Sunday in most countries it is an observance rather than a day off — the exceptions are places like Guatemala, where working mothers get the day off.
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.
