What makes the Norway calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Norway signature lives in the other dates: Skjærtorsdag (Maundy Thursday, 2 avril), present in only 17 countries; Syttende mai (Constitution Day, 17 mai), present in only 23 countries; Første pinsedag (Pentecost, 24 mai), present in only 25 countries. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Andre pinsedag (25 mai) to Første juledag (25 décembre): 214 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 12 nationwide holidays and Skjærtorsdag will fall on a jeudi (25 mars).
