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.
