When a holiday falls on a Sunday, it is taken on the following Monday. The dates of Orthodox and Catholic Easter and the Muslim festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid al-Fitr vary from one year to another.

Muslim festivals are timed according to local sightings of various phases of the moon and the dates given above are approximations. During the lunar month of Ramadan that precedes Lesser Bairam (Eid al-Fitr), Muslims fast during the day and feast at night and normal business patterns may be interrupted. Some disruption may continue into Lesser Bairam itself. Lesser Bairam and Greater Bairam (Eid al-Adha) may last anything from two to 10 days, depending on the region.
