About these holidays in Syria (2027)
Our Syria public holidays guide explains the background of each holiday and how the dates are set.
New Year's Day
New Year's Day falls on 1 January and opens the Gregorian calendar year. Most countries mark it with a public holiday, and celebrations usually begin the night before with countdowns, fireworks and gatherings. The date was fixed in its current position by Julius Caesar's calendar reform, and later preserved by the Gregorian reform of 1582. traditions vary widely, from first-footing in Scotland to writing resolutions for the months ahead.
Revolution Day
Revolution Day marks the anniversary of a political revolution that changed a country's system of government. Mexico observes it on 20 November for the 1910 revolution, Egypt on 23 July for the 1952 revolution, and several other states commemorate their own turning points. It is usually a public holiday marked by official ceremonies, parades and events recalling the figures and events of the revolution.
Eid al-Fitr (estimated)
Eid al-Fitr is the festival that ends Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting, and begins on the first day of Shawwal. It is a two or three day public holiday across much of the Muslim world. The date depends on the sighting of the new moon, so published calendars mark it as estimated until it is confirmed. Families gather for prayer, shared meals and charitable giving before the fast was broken each evening of Ramadan.
Mother's Day
Mother's Day honours mothers and maternal figures. The date varies widely: many countries follow the second Sunday in May, the United Kingdom observes Mothering Sunday in Lent, and several Arab countries mark it on the spring equinox. In some nations, including much of Eastern Europe and parts of Africa, it is an official public holiday. Families typically give flowers, cards and small gifts, and many people visit their mothers.
Independence Day
Independence Day marks the anniversary of a nation's formal separation from another state, or of the founding moment of its sovereignty. Because it commemorates a specific historical event, the date differs from country to country and the name often includes the year. Typical observances include flag raising, military parades, speeches by heads of state, and public concerts. It is frequently the most prominent national holiday on the calendar.
