Note :
In the United States legal holidays ,
so called ,
are determined by law ,
commonly by the statutes of the several States .
The holidays most generally observed are :
the 22d day of February (
Washington '
s birthday ),
the 30th day of May (
Memorial day ),
the 4th day of July (
Independence day ),
the 25th day of December (
Christmas day ).
In most of the States the 1st day of January is a holiday .
When any of these days falls on Sunday ,
usually the Monday following is observed as the holiday .
In many of the States a day in the spring (
as Good Friday ,
or the first Thursday in April ),
and a day in the fall (
as the last Thursday in November )
are now regularly appointed by Executive proclamation to be observed ,
the former as a day of fasting and prayer ,
the latter as a day of thanksgiving and are kept as holidays .
In England ,
the days of the greater church feasts (
designated in the calendar by a red letter ,
and commonly called red -
letter days )
are observed as general holidays .
Bank holidays are those on which ,
by act of Parliament ,
banks may suspend business .
Although Sunday is a holiday in the sense of a day when business is legally suspended ,
it is not usually included in the general term ,
the phrase "
Sundays and holidays "
being more common .
