March – Changeable Dates

Here are a few examples of national holidays with changing dates in March:

  1. St. Patrick’s Day (Ireland): St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17th each year. If the holiday falls on a weekend, it may be observed on the following Monday, especially for public institutions and schools.
  2. Good Friday (Christian countries): Good Friday is a Christian holiday that commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The date of Good Friday changes each year as it is based on the lunar calendar and falls on the Friday before Easter Sunday, which typically occurs between March 20th and April 23rd.
  3. Easter Monday (Christian countries): Easter Monday is a public holiday in many countries and is observed on the day after Easter Sunday. Like Good Friday, its date changes each year based on the lunar calendar.
  4. Labour Day (Australia): Labour Day is a public holiday in Australia that varies in date across different states and territories. In Western Australia, it is celebrated on the first Monday of March.
  5. Purim (Jewish communities worldwide): Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, as described in the Book of Esther. The date of Purim varies each year, as it is based on the Jewish lunar calendar, but it typically falls in March.

Please note that not all of these holidays fall in March every year. However, they are examples of holidays that may occur in March and have changing dates due to various factors such as the day of the week, religious calendar systems, or lunar cycles.
