We also have other festivities we celebrate, which are not considered as holiday, so they are like ordinary days.

Holocaust Remembrance Day: 27 January

Father's Day: 19 March

Women's Day: 8 March

Mother's Day: 10 May (it's always celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May)

Grandparents' Day: 2 October

My favorite one is definitely the last one, which is a celebration introduced in Italy only on the 31st of July 2005. They picked the 2nd of October as a day because according to the Catholic calendar it commemorates the Guardian Angels. Grandparents are like angels, and I am so proud I have 2 of the best grandparents ever, who raised me and made me who I am. 

Talking about public holidays it's interesting to say most of them are related to religion, also due to the fact we have the Pope in Rome and it would insane not to respect some traditions.

What about your country? What are the bank holidays over there?
