What makes the Brazil calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Brazil signature lives in the other dates: Dia de Tiradentes (Tiradentes, 21. April), found in no other country in the dataset; Nossa Senhora Aparecida (Our Lady of Aparecida, 12. Oktober), found in no other country in the dataset; Proclamação da República (Republic Proclamation Day, 15. November), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Corpus Christi (4. Juni) to Dia da Independência (7. September): 95 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 12 nationwide holidays and Dia de Tiradentes will fall on a Mittwoch (21. April).
