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.
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.
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.
Ascension Day
The Thursday 39 days after Easter Sunday.
Marks the ascension of Christ, forty days after Easter. Always a Thursday, which makes it a popular bridge day — in France, Germany, the Nordics and the Benelux many people take the Friday off to reach a four-day weekend.
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.
