 ‘Public’ Holidays: The State vs. the People by Sudha R. Shenoy
With one exception, British ‘public’ holidays are ‘traditional’ – very long-standing: Christmas, New Year’s, Easter, Whitsun (now stabilised as the last Monday in May, except in Scotland, where it’s the first Monday).
Other official holidays are: the birthdays of the current and two previous Emperors; the first day of the (1964) Tokyo Olympics; the day the first Japanese Emperor ascended the throne in 660 BC; Constitution Day; and three holidays created out of whole cloth by the Diet [parliament].
As there were no ‘public’ holidays in June, July and August, the third Monday in July was declared ‘Marine Day’ in 1995 (after various marine organisations had lobbied since 1991).
