About these holidays in Spain (2027)

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.

Epiphany

Epiphany on 6 January concludes the Twelve Days of Christmas and celebrates the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles, represented by the visit of the Magi. It is a public holiday in much of Europe and Latin America, where in Spanish speaking countries it is associated with the Three Kings and the giving of gifts to children. In churches following the Julian calendar the feast falls later in January.

Good Friday

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a public holiday in most countries with Christian traditions, and businesses, banks and schools often close. Observance is typically solemn, with church services, processions and in some places Passion plays. The date moves each year because Easter is calculated from the first full moon following the March equinox.

Labour Day

Labour Day honours workers and the trade union movement. The spelling varies by country, but the observance is essentially the same as Labor Day. Most nations hold it on 1 May as International Workers' Day, commemorating the Haymarket affair of 1886 and the campaign for an eight hour day. New Zealand and several Australian states observe it in October, and the United States and Canada in September.

Constitution Day

Constitution Day commemorates the adoption or signing of a country's constitution. The date varies by nation: Norway marks 17 May, Denmark 5 June, Poland 3 May, Spain 6 December, India 26 January and Japan 3 May. It is usually a public holiday marked by official ceremonies, parades and educational events about citizenship. In several countries it is treated as a celebration of national identity as much as of the legal document itself.
