When a holiday falls on a weekend, many countries give the day off on the nearest working day instead. That substitute day is the 'observed' holiday.

estimated

Islamic and some other lunar holidays begin when religious authorities sight the new crescent moon. We show the expected date; the real day can move by one day and is confirmed only shortly before.

Bridge days: 1 day off, 4+ days away

Take one working day off between a holiday and a weekend.

What is this?

A 'bridge day' is a single working day squeezed between a holiday and a weekend. Take it off and you get four or more days in a row for one day of leave.

No single-day bridges this year.
