Romania: public holidays, bank holidays, school holidays. Day of National Unity of Romania An excerpt characterizing the Holidays of Romania
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis signed a resolution promulgating the Law amending paragraph 1 of Art. 139 of the Romanian Labor Code, reports Basilica.ro.
Thus, Orthodox Romania joins the other 16 EU countries where Good Friday is a non-working day.
Friday of Holy Week is dedicated to the remembrance of the condemnation to death, suffering on the cross and death of Jesus Christ, as well as the removal of His body from the cross and burial.
The law was adopted by the Chamber of Deputies at the end of February. The legislative proposal was presented by the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania.
Thus, Labor Code Romania establishes the following days as official public holidays: January 1 and 2; January 24 (Day of the Union of Romanian Principalities); Good Friday; first and second Easter days; May 1, June 1 (Children's Day); the first and second days of Pentecost; August 15 (Assumption of the Virgin Mary); November 30 (St. Andrew); December 1st (Romanian National Day); December 25 and 26 (first and second Christmas).
Romania has no official religion, but the vast majority of the population (87%) are Orthodox Christians.
Good Friday - closed
Good Friday is a day off in Protestant Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and in Catholic Spain, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands. It is also a public holiday in the UK, Norway, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
In 2014, Cuba declared Good Friday a national holiday. The government has issued a directive that will make this day a holiday every year. After years of official atheism, Cuba recognized Good Friday as a holiday in 2012 in response to a special request made by Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to the island nation that year. In 2013, Good Friday was recognized as a non-working day, and state television resumed broadcasting the festive service from the Cathedral in Havana. In 2014, the government established Good Friday as a public holiday.
In Austria, Good Friday is a public holiday for members of Protestant, Catholic and Evangelical Methodist churches. Non-religious people and representatives of other religious communities have to work on this day.
In Russia, Good Friday is not a day off.
Good Friday in Christianity
In the Catholic Church, this is the only day of the year when the Eucharist is not celebrated. During the day, a Stations of the Cross service takes place, during which the priest and parishioners walk around the 14 “stations” located around the perimeter of each Latin Rite Catholic church. In the evening there is a special service of the Passion of the Lord, which must begin after three o'clock in the afternoon (the time of the Savior's death on the cross). All covers, candles and the cross are removed from the altar. During the service, musical instruments and the ringing of bells are not used as a sign of mourning for the Savior who died on the cross.
In Lutheranism, the pastor wears a black robe on Good Friday. On this day the Eucharist is not celebrated, the organ is silent, no sermons are preached, and the sacrament of confession is not performed. No candles are lit on the altar. The color of the coverings of the pulpit, altar and altar fence is black. The service consists of the singing of spiritual songs, alternating with the reading of gospel fragments dedicated to the execution of Jesus Christ. The congregational prayer is said and the Our Father is sung.
In the Orthodox Church, in remembrance of the saving Passion of Christ, a special service has been established, called “Following the Holy and Saving Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” It takes place on Thursday evening. This service arose from the tradition of the Jerusalem Church, to perform a religious procession to places in Jerusalem associated with the Passion of Jesus Christ. During the procession, stops were made during which relevant passages from the Gospel were read.
On Friday afternoon, the Shroud is taken out of the altars of Orthodox churches and placed in the middle of the temple. During Good Friday and Holy Saturday, believers venerate the Shroud.

An excerpt characterizing the Holidays of Romania
Rostov kept thinking about this brilliant feat of his, which, to his surprise, bought him the St. George Cross and even made him a reputation as a brave man - and he just couldn’t understand something. “So they are even more afraid of us! - he thought. – So that’s all there is to it, what’s called heroism? And did I do this for the fatherland? And what is he to blame for with his hole and blue eyes? And how scared he was! He thought I would kill him. Why should I kill him? My hand trembled. And they gave me the St. George Cross. Nothing, I don’t understand anything!”But while Nikolai was processing these questions within himself and still did not give himself a clear account of what had so confused him, the wheel of happiness in his career, as often happens, turned in his favor. He was pushed forward after the Ostrovnensky affair, they gave him a battalion of hussars and, when it was necessary to use a brave officer, they gave him instructions.
Having received the news of Natasha’s illness, the Countess, still not entirely healthy and weak, came to Moscow with Petya and the whole house, and the entire Rostov family moved from Marya Dmitrievna to their own house and completely settled in Moscow.
Natasha’s illness was so serious that, to her happiness and to the happiness of her family, the thought of everything that was the cause of her illness, her action and the break with her fiancé became secondary. She was so sick that it was impossible to think about how much she was to blame for everything that happened, while she did not eat, did not sleep, was noticeably losing weight, was coughing and was, as the doctors made her feel, in danger. All I had to think about was helping her. The doctors visited Natasha both separately and in consultations, spoke a lot of French, German and Latin, condemned each other, prescribed a wide variety of medicines for all the diseases known to them; but not one of them had the simple thought that they could not know the disease that Natasha suffered from, just as no disease that is possessed by a living person could be known: for every living person has his own characteristics and always has special and its own new, complex, unknown to medicine disease, not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, etc., recorded in medicine, but a disease consisting of one of the countless compounds in the suffering of these organs. This simple thought could not occur to doctors (just as the thought that he cannot cast magic cannot occur to a sorcerer) because their life’s work was to heal, because they received money for this, and because they spent on this matter best years of your life. But the main thing is that this thought could not occur to the doctors because they saw that they were undoubtedly useful, and were truly useful for all the Rostovs at home. They were useful not because they forced the patient to swallow mostly harmful substances (this harm was little sensitive, because harmful substances were given in small quantities), but they were useful, necessary, inevitable (the reason is why there are and will always be imaginary healers, fortune tellers, homeopaths and allopaths) because they satisfied the moral needs of the patient and the people who love the patient. They satisfied that eternal human need of hope for relief, the need for sympathy and activity that a person experiences during suffering. They satisfied that eternal, human - noticeable in a child in the most primitive form - need to rub the place that is bruised. The child is killed and immediately runs into the arms of the mother, the nanny, so that they can kiss and rub the sore spot, and it becomes easier for him when the sore spot is rubbed or kissed. The child does not believe that his strongest and wisest do not have the means to help his pain. And the hope of relief and expressions of sympathy while his mother rubs his lump comfort him. The doctors were useful to Natasha because they kissed and rubbed the bobo, assuring that it would pass now if the coachman went to the Arbat pharmacy and took seven hryvnia worth of powders and pills in a nice box for a ruble, and if these powders would certainly be in two hours, no more and no less, the patient will take it in boiled water.
Today, Romania celebrates one of the main national holidays - every year on December 1, Romanians celebrate the anniversary of the country's unification in 1918 and the formation of the Romanian state within its current borders.
The history of today's holiday - Day of National Unity of Romania(Ziua Marii Uniri / Great Union Day in Romania) - dates back to December 1, 1918, when representatives of Romanians from Transylvania and Banat voted to unite with the Kingdom of Romania.
First world war turned into a terrible disaster for the European peoples. Millions of people were killed and mutilated in the monstrous meat grinder, tens of millions became refugees. The countries through which the front lines passed suffered enormous destruction. Romania was among the states that found themselves at the epicenter of the disaster.
A small people courageously took the side of Russia and the Entente. As a result, after a year and a half of fierce fighting, the country found itself occupied. The Allied victory was achieved far from Romanian territory, but it was a common great victory of the peoples who stood for peace and justice against the cynical “struggle for a place in the sun.”
Thanks to this victory, the Romanian people were able to fulfill the dream of their great thinkers - to achieve national unity! Enormous creative energy, hopes and a burst of enthusiasm from all sectors of society led to a qualitative breakthrough.
Romania traditionally celebrates the day with military parades and official speeches by popular political leaders in Bucharest. The national flag is raised above the buildings. Most citizens rest on Unity Day; in schools and universities this day is also a day off.
