Specific comments on bank and public holidays in Macedonia
Sometimes when a Macedonian holiday falls on a weekend day, the Government of the Republic of Macedonia makes a proclamation, a few days before the holiday, to inform the general public that a different day will be the "observed" holiday. Yom Kippur is a Macedonian holiday for those of Jewish faith only and Kurban Bajram and Ramazan Bajram are holidays for those of Moslem faith only. Orthodox New Year is not an official holiday but is nevertheless widely celebrated.

Footnotes

( * ) Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Macedonia, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight.
( ** ) Religious Holidays : Bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays based on certain religious calendars are subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck), To find out more about these uncertainties, see the specific footnote, if any, for each holiday.
( 2 ) Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Macedonia were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
( c ) Duplicated Holidays : Holiday occurs more than once in 2006.
( i ) Days in Lieu : These bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays, in Macedonia, have specific official rules that determine that they are moved, or that a days in lieu is given when they occur on a Saturday or on a Sunday, or in both cases. The effects of those rules have already been included in the dates displayed above.
( k ) Saturdays : As mentioned in footnote (i), above, our research indicates that some of the bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays that occur on a weekend in Macedonia, are moved, or that days in lieu are given. The fact that the date displayed above is a Saturday means that either this particular holiday does not move, or it only moves it it occurs on a Sunday. Examples of this are religious holidays such as Holy Saturday, or the actual date of a holiday, such as Christmas, for which an additional day in lieu is given when it occurs on a weekend.
( n ) Sundays : As mentioned in footnote (i), above, our research indicates that bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays that occur on a Sunday in Macedonia, are moved, or that days in lieu are given. The fact that the date displayed above is a Sunday means that this particular holiday does not move. Examples of this are religious holidays such as Easter Sunday, or the actual date of a holiday, such as Christmas, for which an additional day in lieu is given when it occurs on a weekend.
