Montserrat : Feiertage, Schließung der Banken, Schulferien

Schulferien :

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Since pre-historic times in Europe, festivities (bonfires, offrerings) were marking the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual. The Roman festival of Saturnalia lasted several days in December (gambling and offerings). Germanic tribes also celebrated mid-winter (drinking and rituals). The Bulgarian (with Koleduvane) and the Polish (with Gwiazdka) perpetuate this tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was probably born in springtime (Reformists favour autumn). But in the 4th century, December 25th was chosen for the celebration of his birth by Pope Julius I (Bishop Liberus is also mentioned in 354 A.D.). Thus, a Christian element was introduced in the long-established mid-winter festivals. Before 1582, the Papal States and other Italian city states celebrated New Year’s Day on Christmas Day.

Weltliche Feiertage : The world's most widely celebrated holiday, New Years was set on January 1 by Julius Caesar because that was the date the Roman consuls took over their duties.

Weltliche Feiertage : The Irish were some of Montserrat’s earliest settlers, and, on St. Patrick’s Day in 1768, the African slaves on the island planned an uprising that failed—nine slaves were hanged. St. Patrick’s has now become a ten-day festival to honor that rebellion, to celebrate the island’s history, to contend with the lasting Irish influence, and to invest in Montserrat’s future.

nur Banken :

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Das Erste Konzil von Nicäa (eine Versammlung von Bischöfen in den frühen Tagen des Christentums) wollte einen Tag finden, um der Kreuzigung und Auferstehung Christi zu gedenken. Dieses Gedenken musste mit jüdischen Feiertagstraditionen verbunden werden, da das letzte Abendmahl Christi als jüdisches Passadenmahl geglaubt wurde. Aber der jüdische Kalender basiert auf Mond- und Sonnenzyklen, so dass die Osterfeier dem gleichen Kalender folgen musste.

Katholisch oder protestantisch : Not a paid holiday
