Everybody loves holidays. They are a welcome break from the drudgery of daily chores and busy work schedules. Holidays are when you get the time to refresh and revitalize your system, enjoy a quiet period of rest or indulge in a hobby, get on with that unfinished job at home or just have a nice time with your near and dear ones. That is what the Romanians do on their holidays listed below.

Now public holidays are not exactly like weekends. For one thing, they can fall bang in the middle of a week. However, they are not enjoyed by everyone. People, employed with certain public services, like the police, hospitals, municipalities, public transport etc and factories that have a continuous production process cannot be on leave en masse on these holidays. Such people are offered compensatory leave subsequently to be availed within a certain period of time.

The employees of these institutions have the right to compensate with corresponding free time, provided during the following 30 days. Nowadays according to the Work Code, public holidays in Romania are as follows: 1st and 2nd January on the occasion of the New Year; Easter days are in April or May and people of different religions can enjoy two free days according to the time of their Easter days.

Then the 1st of May is a holiday marking the International Workers' Day. The 1st of December is celebrated as the National Day of Romania. On that date in the year 1918 Transylvania was united with the Romanian Kingdom, leading to the formation of modern Romania. Again, Christmas Holidays fall on the 25th and the 26th of December. During Christmas people get together in family reunions and celebrate the Christmas spirit with their family members.

Moreover, Romania has as well other important holidays in the list. Thus, on the 24th January they celebrate the union between Moldavia and Walachia when Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected ruler of both counties. This event took place in 1859.

There are a few other holidays on the Romanian calendar that are celebrated with a great deal of merriment. Women's Day is observed on 8th March, and it is a time when women of all ages are pampered. Children wish their mothers and students their female teachers. Husbands shower gifts and flowers on their wives. Women usually celebrate by throwing parties for women only. Likewise, Children's Day is observed with festivities all over Romania on 1st June. Art competitions and sports contests for different age groups of children are a special feature of that day.

Romanians are not lacking in patriotic fervor, and this is borne out by a number of holidays observed with the motherland as the theme. Heroes, who fought for the country in different ages, are remembered on Ascension Day. The National Flag Day is observed on 26th June. The Romanian national flag, by the way, has three colors - red, yellow and blue. The color red represents the sacrifice of the heroes, who spilled blood for the country. The color yellow stands for the prosperity, associated with a golden harvest. Finally, blue represents hope for the better future.

National Anthem Day is observed on 29th June. The Romanian national anthem begins with "De steapta-te, romane!" It means "Romanians, fight for your rights!". The present constitution of Romania was adopted on the 8th of December, 1991, and the day is commemorated as the Constitution Day.

Finally, there are two holidays, which are very special for the youth of the country. The first is known as Dragobetele and is like the Valentine's Day. No wonder it is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm in Romania. The second one is a very special day, observed on the 1st of March. On this date the male population of Romania, including its children, gives small lucky charms as gifts to their loved ones. Actually, the gifts are meant for girls and women only.
