Holidays are designated days of celebration or commemoration, typically recognized and observed by a community, culture, or nation. They often hold significant cultural, religious, or historical meaning, providing an opportunity for rest, reflection, and social gatherings. Holidays can vary widely in their observances, traditions, and the ways in which they are celebrated. Some holidays are fixed in the calendar, while others may vary based on lunar cycles, religious observances, or local customs.
