What makes the Colombia calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Colombia signature lives in the other dates: Sagrado Corazón (Sacred Heart, 15. Juni), found in no other country in the dataset; Día de la Virgen de Chiquinquirá (Our Lady of Chiquinquirá Day, 13. Juli), found in no other country in the dataset; Declaracion de la Independencia de Colombia (Declaration of Independence, 20. Juli), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Día de los Reyes Magos (12. Januar) to Día de San José (23. März): 70 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 19 nationwide holidays and Sagrado Corazón will fall on a Montag (7. Juni).
