Question 1

What is Public Holidays Calendar — 22 Countries?

Accepted Answer

Public holidays vary dramatically between countries, and even between regions within the same country. The United States celebrates Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November, while Canada celebrates it on the second Monday of October. Germany has holidays that differ by state — Bavarians get more days off than Berliners. Understanding these differences is essential for international business, travel planning, and HR departments managing global teams.

Question 2

How does Public Holidays Calendar — 22 Countries work?

Accepted Answer

Many holidays are "movable" — their date changes every year based on astronomical or calendar calculations. Easter is the most complex example: it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, a calculation known as the Computus that was formalized in 325 AD. Because Easter moves, so do all holidays pegged to it: Good Friday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, and Corpus Christi. Our calculator implements the full Easter algorithm for both Western (Gregorian) and Orthodox calendars.
