FAQ
What is the difference between fixed and moveable holidays?
Fixed holidays occur on the same date every year, such as Christmas (December 25) or Independence Day (July 4). Moveable holidays change dates annually based on lunar or astronomical calculations, like Easter, Thanksgiving, and Eid. Moveable holidays follow specific rules to determine their dates each year.
Why does Easter change dates every year?
Easter is determined by the lunar calendar. Easter Sunday is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox (March 21). This complex calculation means Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
When is Thanksgiving celebrated?
In the United States, Thanksgiving is observed on the fourth Thursday of November, which typically falls between November 22-28. In Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October. The date changes annually due to this moveable holiday rule.
What are statutory holidays and why do they matter?
Statutory holidays are officially recognized days off in a country or region. Most people don't work on these days, and businesses may be closed. Knowing statutory holidays is important for planning, scheduling meetings, and understanding business operating hours. Different countries recognize different statutory holidays.
