Here are a few examples of national holidays with changing dates in May:
- May Day / International Workers’ Day (Many countries): May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes. It is typically observed on May 1st each year. If the holiday falls on a weekend, it may be observed on the following Monday in some countries, particularly for public institutions and schools.
- Early May Bank Holiday (United Kingdom): The Early May Bank Holiday, also known as May Day Bank Holiday, is a public holiday in the United Kingdom. It is observed on the first Monday of May each year, so the date changes annually.
- Mother’s Day (Many countries): Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood. The date of Mother’s Day varies between countries, but in many places, including the United States and Canada, it is observed on the second Sunday of May.
- Victoria Day (Canada): Victoria Day is a Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25th, in honor of Queen Victoria’s birthday. The date changes each year due to the Monday observance.
- Vesak Day (Buddhist countries): Vesak Day, also known as Buddha Purnima or Buddha Day, is a Buddhist holiday that commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha. The date of Vesak Day varies each year, as it is based on the Asian lunar calendar, but it typically falls in May.
Please note that not all of these holidays fall in May every year. However, they are examples of holidays that may occur in May and have changing dates due to various factors such as the day of the week or religious calendar systems.
