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.
