@fahrni Every fourth year we also have the Song and Dance Festival, which always ends on Sunday, so that means Monday is a holiday.
If there is a national holiday on Tuesday or Thursday, we swap one of the Saturdays with that Monday or Friday in between to get a longer break — and one less lazy ‘working day’ Saturday.

@fahrni When the Pope visited us, it was a holiday for us, even though only about 8% of the population goes to church at least once a year. And we also got a national holiday when Team Latvia took third place in the World Championship in hockey — for sure, more people went out to see our team than the Pope.
