óopinberar

óopinberar is an Icelandic word that translates to "public holidays" or "national holidays." These are days officially recognized by the Icelandic government on which most businesses and public institutions are closed, and people are generally not expected to work. óopinberar are observed to commemorate significant historical events, religious observances, or cultural traditions.

The specific dates and number of óopinberar can vary slightly from year to year due to the way some holidays are fixed to certain days of the week or follow lunar calendars. Iceland has several major public holidays. These include New Year's Day, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, the First Day of Summer, Ascension Day, Whit Sunday, Whit Monday, National Day (June 17th), and Christmas Day, followed by the second day of Christmas.

Observance of these holidays often involves family gatherings, special meals, and cultural activities. The National Day, for instance, is a particularly important celebration marked by parades, speeches, and festivities across the country. For many Icelanders, óopinberar are an important part of their cultural identity and provide opportunities for rest and celebration.
