Määräpäiviksi

Määräpäiviksi, often translated as "fixed holidays" or "fixed days," refers to a system of holidays in Finland that are observed on the same date each year, regardless of the day of the week. This system was introduced in Finland in 1955 to replace the older system of movable holidays, which were tied to the lunar calendar. The fixed holidays are as follows:

January 1: New Year's Day

May 1: May Day

December 6: Independence Day

These dates are fixed and do not change from year to year. The system was implemented to simplify the calendar and to ensure that holidays fell on the same date each year, making it easier for businesses and individuals to plan. The fixed holidays are observed by both public and private sectors in Finland. The system has been in place since 1955 and has not been subject to significant changes. It is an important aspect of Finland's cultural and legal calendar.
