Inhaltsverzeichnis
Wer würde nicht gerne lange schlafen und einen freien Tag von der Arbeit oder der Schule genießen? Ein Feiertag ist ein Tag, der Ihnen diese Freiheit ermöglicht. Es ist ein Tag der Ruhe und des Feierns, an dem die meisten Menschen nicht arbeiten müssen. In der Regel ist ein gesetzlicher Feiertag gesetzlich festgelegt.
Most public holidays are days of celebration or commemoration – a religious festival like Christmas or Diwali or the anniversary of a historically important event like the gaining of independence. Public holidays may vary from country to country. For example, most European countries only have Christian holidays, while more multicultural countries like India and Malaysia celebrate festivals from many religions, which results in these countries having more public holidays. Some popular holidays like New Year and Christmas are public holidays or national holidays in many countries, while some holidays are unique to a country’s history or culture. Most countries in the world also celebrate National Day or Independence Day. For example, Americans celebrate the 4th of July or their Independence Day, while Australians celebrate Australia Day.
Holidays can fall on a specific day of the year (for example, December 25), on a moveable day or a particular day of the week in a particular month, or even follow another calendar system like the Lunar Calendar (for example, the first Sunday after the full moon on the spring equinox). This means some holidays don’t fall on the same date every year. They are determined by various bodies before the start of the year and the printing of calendars.
Manche Urlaube sind eben keine eintägigen Ferien. Zum Beispiel können traditionelle Neujahrsfeiertage mehrere Feiertage umfassen, um denselben Anlass zu feiern. Zum chinesischen Neujahrsfest erhalten die Mitarbeiter in China drei gesetzliche Feiertage; In ähnlicher Weise haben die Sri Lanker zwei aufeinanderfolgende Feiertage, um ihr traditionelles Neujahr im April zu feiern. In einigen buddhistischen Ländern bestehen die Vesak-Feierlichkeiten (zum Gedenken an Buddhas Geburt) auch aus zwei Feiertagen.
Holidays do give you a chance to get away from the stress of regular life, spend quality time with your family and friends, and boost your mental health. However, too many holidays can also have a negative impact on the country’s economy. An excessive number of holidays adversely affect the country’s productivity. Large transactions in a country, especially those related to the banking and financial system, can be held up for days when there are many holidays. Therefore, the government of a country needs to set up a reasonable number of holidays and take necessary steps to avoid any inconvenience caused by them.
Some countries have national laws making all public holidays paid holidays, but not all countries have this law. In such countries, whether employees get paid leave or not might depend entirely on the employers’ decision. In some countries, there are different types of holidays, known as bank holidays and mercantile holidays. Bank and mercantile holidays are holidays when banks, businesses, and other commercial establishments are closed for the day. In some countries, not all public holidays are bank or mercantile holidays. This means some employees have to work during public holidays.
Die Anzahl der Feiertage pro Jahr kann von Land zu Land variieren. In einigen Ländern kann diese Zahl auch von Region zu Region variieren. Aber alle Länder haben mindestens 5 oder 6 Feiertage pro Jahr. Wissen Sie, in welchen Ländern die wenigsten Ferien und in welchen die meisten Ferien sind? Nun, zu den Ländern mit der geringsten Anzahl von Feiertagen gehören Mexiko, die Schweiz, das Vereinigte Königreich, die Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada.
In diesem Artikel werden die Länder mit den meisten Feiertagen vorgestellt (in absteigender Reihenfolge). Myanmar nimmt mit 32 Feiertagen den ersten Platz in der Liste ein, dicht gefolgt von Nepal mit 30 Feiertagen. Lesen Sie weiter, um herauszufinden, welche anderen Länder auf dieser Liste stehen.
