The following are 11 public holidays in Ukraine .[1]
Holidays established by law
[ edit ]
During martial law a public holiday is not a non-working day.[10]
Easter postcard (by Jacques Hnizdovsky )
Before the Orthodox Church of Ukraine [11] [12] and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church [13] switched to the Revised Julian calendar in September 2023 all religious holidays were observed according to the Julian calendar , since then Christmas is officially celebrated on 25 December.[5] From 2017 to 2022 Christmas was celebrated in Ukraine on 2 different days, 7 January (the date of the holiday according to the Julian calendar ) and 25 December (the date of the holiday according to the Gregorian and Revised Julian calendars).[9] From 2023 Christmas is only officially celebrated in Ukraine on 25 December.[14] [15] [16] [17]
When a public holiday falls on a weekend (e.g. Saturday or Sunday), the following working day (e.g. Monday) turns into an official day off too.
If only one or only two working days are between a public holiday and another day off then the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine usually releases a recommendation to avoid this gap by moving these working days onto a certain Saturday (that is to have uninterrupted vacations, but to compensate this by work on another day which would be a day off). Usually such recommendations only concern those employees whose weekly days off are Saturday and Sunday.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine that started on 24 February 2022 led to a reappraisal of the popularity of the public holidays in Ukraine.[18] A March 2024 study by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology found that the popularity of Independence Day of Ukraine and Defenders Day had both almost more than doubled (from 37% to 64% and from 29% to 58%) while the popularity of International Women's Day had fallen from being labelled "most beloved" by 49% of respondents in 2017 to 21% in March 2024.[18]
