SWEDEN
Sweden has different
types of holidays. Almost every day is associated with a name, for
name days, follow the link at the bottom of this page. "Red
days" are days like Sundays and holidays which you do not
work, days before "Red days" are "eve days"
which, though not special, are usually when the "Red Day",
if special, is really celebrated. There are Flag days, when you should
raise the Swedish Flag, and other marked days that are not days off
work, but are special, like the equinox.
