New Year's Day Introduction
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.
Independence Day Introduction
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.
Independence Day (observed) Introduction
When Independence Day falls at a weekend, many countries transfer the public holiday to the nearest weekday so that workers do not lose a day off. The substituted date is labelled as observed. The holiday itself commemorates the anniversary of a nation's independence or sovereignty, and is typically marked with flag raising ceremonies, parades and speeches by national leaders.
Labor Day Introduction
Labor Day honours the achievements of workers and the labour movement. Most countries observe it on 1 May, known internationally as May Day or International Workers' Day, which grew out of the campaign for an eight hour working day. Others, including the United States and Canada, hold it on the first Monday of September. Typical events include trade union marches, rallies and public speeches on working conditions.
Christmas Day (observed) Introduction
Where 25 December falls at a weekend, several countries move the public holiday to the following weekday so that workers receive a day off in lieu. The substituted date is commonly labelled as observed. The holiday itself marks the Nativity of Jesus and is one of the most widely recognised public holidays worldwide, celebrated with family gatherings, special meals and gift giving.
