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.
Epiphany
6 January.
Marks the visit of the Magi and closes the Christmas season. A public holiday in Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece, Poland, Sweden and Finland, and in three German states — one of the standard examples of a holiday that is regional rather than national.
Easter Sunday
The first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March, so the date moves between 22 March and 25 April.
The central feast of the Christian year, commemorating the resurrection. Because it always falls on a Sunday, the day off it generates is usually Good Friday or Easter Monday rather than the day itself. Its movable date sets the timing of Carnival, Ascension and Pentecost.
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.
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.
All Saints' Day
1 November.
Honours all saints, and in much of Catholic Europe and Latin America is the day families visit and tend graves. A public holiday in France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the Philippines and many francophone African countries.
All Souls' Day
2 November.
Commemorates the departed, the day after All Saints'. A public holiday in Brazil, Mexico, Portugal's former colonies and several Central European countries.
Feast of the Immaculate Conception
8 December.
A Catholic feast honouring the conception of the Virgin Mary. A public holiday in Spain, Italy, Austria, Portugal, much of Latin America and the Philippines.
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.
St. Stephen's Day
26 December.
Honours the first Christian martyr, and is the name used for 26 December in Ireland, Italy, Austria, the Czech Republic and Finland.
