Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve, or the day before Christmas Day, falls on December 24 every year in Romania.
Many Christians around the world annually celebrate Epiphany on January 6. It is a public holiday in many countries and marks two events in Jesus Christ’s life, according to the Christian Bible. The first event was when the three wise men, or kings, visited infant Jesus. The second event was when St John the Baptist baptized Jesus.
Is Epiphany a Public Holiday?
Epiphany is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
In 2024, it falls on a Saturday, and some businesses may choose to follow Saturday opening hours.
The three wise men's (or kings') visit to baby Jesus Christ is remembered on Epiphany.
