A Public Holiday, National holiday or Legal Holidays is a holiday generally established by law and it designates a non-working day during the year.

Sovereign nations and territories observe holidays based on events of significance to their history. For example, Australians celebrate Australia Day.

They vary by country and every year can be different. The Public holidays are generally days of celebration, like the anniversary of something happened in the past and that had a particular relevance for the country of region in which the public holiday has been established or can be a religious celebration like Christmas.
