The National Holiday celebrates the birthday of the Grand Duke and used to be movable to coincide with the actual birthday of monarch. To avoid cold weather on the 5 January birthday of Grand Duke Jean (reigned 1964-2000), the Grand Duke's Official Birthday celebration was pinned since 1962 to Jean's name day on 23 June, and was maintained under the reign of his successor Henri.
Unofficial holidays Good Friday (Friday before Easter Sunday) is a bank holiday, meaning that it is only a public holiday for bank employees.
Local complementary unofficial holidays may exist, like the Kermesse Day (known as Kiermes) that always fall on a Monday in the city of Luxembourg, or the Carnival Day also happening in the capital city.
Civil servants are also entitled to two additional half-day public holidays: Whit Tuesday and the afternoon of Christmas Eve.
